Need help dis-assembling
het all
I need some help from the group. I am pulling the rear bits of the pan of 'step child' and have looked at a dead end. How do you get the
swing arm off where it joins the pan in the centre? There is a three grooved sort of thing there, but how do you get it all apart?
Reason for this is to clean the whole thing, repaint (ie: get rid of the red dust that is growing inside the tunnel etc), and rebuild confident that
everyhting is in the best condition it can be.
Any advise welcome

If you're talking about where the swing (IRS) arm attaches to the pivot boxes right next to the frame forks? If so there should be a big 17mm
Allen head bolt that holds it all in (unless I am thinking of a different part). You can buy 17mm Allen head attachments for a socket, or you can make
your own by welding two 17mm bolts together (the threads - best to shorten them) - put one bolt head into the allen head bolt and use the other bolt
head to turn via a socket etc. I use it for gearbox drain plugs as well. Crude but it works! Otherwise I think you can double nut a 17mm bolt and do
the same thing.
Ignore this if you are talking about something else! I used the above "tool" to undo an IRS rear end recently though.

Ta
Nope thats the part alright.
One of the other reasons I want to pull it all apart Its full of crap,
mud and other stuff. I found the hex shape tonight when my neighbour decided to take a look. I will get a 17mm allen head attachment tomorrow after
work.
Thanks
Chris
