Fitting Scorpion Racing radius arms - Any advice appreciated

(1/3) > >>

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Eventually got round to fitting a set of Scorpion Racing radius arms which were kept when I broke my old RRC.

Got the 2 front and 1 rear bolt loose on each arm but can't see how to remove the arm..........

 :oops: The steering bar means it can't drop down.
 :oops: The rear surface of the axle means it can't be pulled forward.

I don't particularly want to disassemble the springs/dampers so I can push the axle forward. Am I missing a trick somewhere?

chuggaman:
the rear steering linkage has to be popped off at the balljoint.....then undo both the axle bolts on one side...prise it down and then forward to remove it from the chassis mount

That sounds simple (Not).

Is it an easy job to do? I've just trawled the archives and can't find any suggestions.

Thx.

Bulli:
Im confused, front or rear?

the rear should have 3 bolts holding at the chassis end and one bolt through the axle. Simply do 1 at a time and use a lump hammer to knock the radius arm out. Make sure the axel cant move so lowbox in gear and wedge the tyres. You should then be able to manipulate the axle to take the new are reasonably easily.

If its the front undo one track rod end and move the drag link out of the way, this should give you the clearance to remove the front arms.

neither are major jobs just make sure you wrok safe.

Hi,

It's the front arms I'm doing. I've taken Chuggaman's advice and dropped the steering linkage off. The arms are now in place - packed up for the day as it's going dark. All I need to do tomorrow is "wiggle" the axle until the bolt holes line up, then torque it all up.

Thanks for the advice guys. ;D
