Idler Pin replacement & stuff

[Hodgins]

Ok, so I've found a good video for reference for the draglink, tie rods and steering damper. I'm a newb fix my owner, so can glean so much from the words in a manual, but find it easier to understand when it is in front of me to see the parts go where how etc.

Does anyone know of a good youtube video for changing the idler pin? Mines a bit clonky sometimes.

Thanks

Ps video for if it's of any help to anyone else.....

I did mine on the bus And let me tell you, it nearly gave me a mental breakdown

I did the one on my bus, I'd been putting it off for years, and it was a piece of cake. Probably took me less than an hour.

Afraid I didn't take photos or videos, but as long as you have something an appropriate size to push the old bushes out (iirc a 19mm socket did the trick), and a length of threaded bar to wind them through, you'll be fine.

There's a good how-to picture guide here: http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/steering-idler-pin-removal-replacement.24228/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You can use sockets instead of the special collars/cylinders he has used

Thanks for the tip off on the sockets too
