So today I thought I start to change the steering idler arm on the mig.Put the car on ramps, undone the three nuts, put a jack under the idler arm to put pressure on, steel bar on the steering bar, club hammer and a whacking I did do. Three and a half hours later THE rather IDLER ARM IS STILL ON THE BLOODY CAR!!!!!!!
No matter how much we belted the bar it did not crack the idler arm. Yes coated it with WD40 left it to soak for about half an hour tried again still no joy. I think the only thing left is to heat the bloody thing up so its so hot that hopefully with a few whacks it should just pop off. I have never had so much of a problem with an Idler arm than this one. This one is stuck on solid and it is not moving.
H E L P !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to get this off before Wednesday as the car is going in for the rear handbrake shoes to be done. Ideally needs to come off tomorrow (sunday). Any other suggestions I could try?
Thnx Paul
