Steering Idler
« on: 11 December 2007, 17:34:33 »

I'm going to be tackling the idler tonight (in the cold, dark, hopefully not wet....).

First challenge will be to loosen the 18mm nut on the connection to the centre tie bar (although the guide says its 19mm, its defo 18mm and my 19mm spanner slips (and of course my set only has 17 and 19mm sizes.... grr).  Hopefully my big adjustable will do it.

Assuming I can release that joint using the Ronni McB guide - ie lever tie bar and whack the idler,  should the other joint (rear joint to the mounting bracket) just pop off or do I need to use a splitter of some sort on it? (its not mentioned in the guide).  

Cheers,
Ian

When I done mine, I didn't need a splitter, just a lot of brute force.
