POSBORNE Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have a 1991 Discovery, 200 Tdi, h reg. I bought a guardsman galvanised steel steering guard from first four off road, an come fitting it today came across an issue with fitting it. Its a pig of a job doing it by yourself, But it is attached by the bumper mounts along with two mounts located behind on the chassis. on one side there is a steering linkage, while on the otherside i can easily locate the bolt nad attach it to the guard. The mount with the steering linkage is mounted to, i can undo the nut and attach the guard, but is it safe to do so, and such it be tightened to any set figure? Any help is much appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yes it will be OK to undo that, but I am not sure of the torque setting on refitting. V F tight is usually good when in doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 cant even get the bolt out of my steering linkage........ tried most things including scaffold bar!.it just wont budge...... any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 yep, mine was the same, had to drift it out using another bolt, it needed clouting really hard to shift it.... when you replace/ refit, use loads of copper grease on the bolt shank to stop it siezing..

FridgeFreezer Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Been there done that, we had to use clouting with a large aircooled flatness adjuster AND turning it with a breaker bar (which was only just turning) and I think we may have heated it up too the new one got quite a lot of coppaslip applied when it went back in!
