[NIZLAH]

as the tittle states does anyone in bris have this tool I can borrow urgently? let me know, cheers:))

[LittleRedSpirit]

Do you need a wedge to smash the tapers out or something Im not getting?

[NIZLAH]

nope for my brother's RVR, he needs to replace the rackend for roady asap so he can drive it back down south, no room to get any other tools on it... I told him to just take it somewhere to get it sorted but he's too tightass lol...

[lolwat]

so the rack end???, hold the rack shaft with a spanner and a fuck off big spanner on the rack end

[NIZLAH]

cant get a spanner on it, that's the problem, about 10cm diameter area to work in , shit in the way from all angles, above , below, sides etc..

Might have to pull it out or take it somewhere, even though he doesn't want to.

was going to say remove the rack...

[NIZLAH]

all good got it sorted with some ingenuity today, cheers

[jakel]

What got it?

[NIZLAH]

the removal of lots of shit in the way so we could attack it from above with a big open end spanner, a lot of dicking around but its done now...
