Omega General Help / MOT'd at last
« on: 23 November 2006, 21:25:29 »
Went for the retested today and straight through 
Need to do the rear brake pads soon (advisory) but will probably be ok till the new year.

Bits are on their way should be here in the morning. So should be MOT'd by mid afternoon. A quick question now, does anybody know what size the nylock nuts are that hold the balljoints on? need to replace the ones I've undone.

IIRC, Autovaux were around £60. Dealer wanted £100 odd...
Sounds like a call to autovaux in the morning.

Well got the steering idler ball joint off eventually, it was well stuck. Once off found the balljoint is seized in position will not pivot in any direction, so it looks like I will have to replace to centre tie rod. Anyone got any idea of prices for this bit??

QuoteWell got the discs done today in about an hour and a halfBall joint splitter reqd if tight..will have to have a rethink, may have to take the whole steering linkage off.
Got one, its so tight that there isn't enough of a gap to fit the fork of the splitter between the steering arm and the idler. That's why I was thinking of taking the whole thing off to be able to work at a more comfortable angle.

Well got the discs done today in about an hour and a half . Idler arrived with the post so decided to do that as well, spent the rest of the day trying to split the old idler from steering arm without sucess will have to have a rethink, may have to take the whole steering linkage off.

Well just got back from a failed mot although not as bad as it could have been I suppose. Need new front discs, which are an item I think of as consumable so not too bad. Also needs a new steering idler which looks like a trip to the dealer and £60 trimmed from the wallet.
At least I know what I'm doing this weekend
