Is there a torque spec. on the nut joining the idler mount to the arm ?

[@taylorstevens48]

That thing was on there, just did mine on a 274k original parts, hit it with just the are hammer and popes right off

[@kirara9182]

What about grease fittings?

[@agelesspuma]

Do you need to take vehicle for an alignment after changing the parts?

[@ftorres8797]

Took me weeks to find the tool everyone is asking, J-43631 kent moore, cheaper version is the OTC 6655

[@thechosen5805]

Great work

[@FinsleysCustomCarAudio]

[@mrnobody292]

[@ftorres8797]

What is the name of the tool you used first that didn't work?

[@angelbenavides5784]

Any torque spec on the nut that goes from the idler arm to the bracket???? I'm assuming the same torque as the castle nut ???

[@red7fifty]

GREASE it, otherwise you'll be doing this again sooner rather than later.

[@Cartduckmann]

my bolt from my idler arm mount just spins and doesn’t allow me to tighten it down all the way, any idea what’s going on both brand new parts from trq

[@JohnDoe-mh8tm]

Why did you skip the torque on the idler arm to bracket torque?!
