Thinking about changing my rear arb at the wkend but not sure if its as straight forward as it looks. Got the 1 out of my old beam without any probs but is there a certain way of fitting it like leaving a gap between end plate and radious arm or do he plates push right up?

0.5mm gap each side.fit an M8 bolt in the nearside that tightens all the way up onto the plate, then when you fit the bar and pull the r/h end plate on, stick a 1mm feeler gauge between the end plate and the arm and wind it right on with a long bolt and a few washers and a nut. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

thanks, do i need any new parts for the job? so the bar should be fitted with 1 plate already fitted to it pushed right up then feed thru the beam and fit handbrake plate and bolt then just fit other plate. |

yup, the nearside end plate is the one you should leave fully drawn onto the splines.if you don't know the history of the beam you'd be best getting the 2 yellow seals and the 2 black rubber bushes for it, probably looking at about a fiver. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
