LandyManLuke Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 it's worth doing both, if one needs doing the other isn't going to be far behind. how long it takes will largely depend on what state the bolt heads are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas Your page says if its tight you need less shims and if its slack you need more. Isnt it the other way round ? if its tight you need more shims, if its slack take some out ? Ive got to replace a swivel ball on our Disco this weekend, if paddocks deliver on time! Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAttrill Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Keep the shims because you will need them when you eventually have to fit new 606666 bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muck Truck Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i know what its like doing your own website. No matter how many times you look at it, its right. Look the day after and you think, what did i type that for ive been slowly doing my site, only got pictures on there really so far, but got a few pages to upload soon. www.muckytruckin.co.uk might even do a swivel ball change page after the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
