Mud Club Blessing Needed...!

(1/6) > >>

Skibum346:
Right folks... off to replace a CV joint (for the first time), the swivel seals (for the first time) and the track rod ends (for the first time!).   8-[

Can you all put your collective wishes together and gimme a good ol' fashion Mud Club blessing as I have a rep for snapping bolts, shredding threads and putting things together in the wrong way.   [-o<

Yeah... I know I should pay a competent mechanic to do the job... but hey... who can afford a competent mechanic these days?!   #-o

Cheers

If you start the job assuming everything will go wrong if they don't you'll be a happy person :wink:

Wolfie:
It's not too bad a job, just follow the instruction book.

The swivel ball to axle bolts are a pain as they are very tight and not the most accessible, after the secoond or third I decided a modified spanner and a lenght of steel pipe was a good move.

Have done 5 in the last couple of months.

Regards

Wolfie

Quick update...

Stopped for lunch (SWMBO is looking after me!  :D )

Swivel bearings have collapsed on passenger side and yes... the axle bolts a are a pain in the @rse!

Got to change drop arm for steering as that has also gone. Should drive nice... when I'm finished!

Wolfie, I don't have a set of pull scales... any suggestions for setting up the swivel preload?
