I might have a go myself but am concerned i will not get the beam lined up straight!Is this something easy to check? would a garage be able to do it much more easily?
Cheers

When I did mine there really wasn't much in the way of play, I certainly didn't do any kind of lining up. If you're worried I'd get the front tracking done before, then they could probably set up the rears to be in line with those. In all honesty I wouldn't worry though  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Tight. Literally, just be sensible about it. I did mine up with a decent socket set and just did them as tight as I could. It's not a cylinder head, nothing's going to warp, just tight will do nicely ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Ah yes, I forgot to warn you - if you're a beefcake like Rikky then finger tight will do  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
