*HOW TO* Rose jointed Linkage

[loggyboy]

Theres 2 types of pin IIRC, one is has a folded back circlip that needs to be removed to release the main pin, the other has a push fit main pin that just pulls out with some pliers and force.

Is there a way to do this because I’m clearly doing something slightly c*cked , and can’t get a good angle to give it a bash with a hammer and driver !!

Thanks a lot

Try going at it through the wheelarch. I have struggled with a few in scrapyards & find that its easier from a lower angle than leaning over the bonnet & doing your back in aswell as guessing at what you are fiddling with.

i used M10 and M12 rose joints and button headed bolts for better clearance

BTW its a quick shift (hope it works LOL)

steve

BTW have you tried it yet?

[loggyboy]

I dont think they rust that much, im pretty sure they must be treated in some way, it doesnt look coated but theres no signs of surface rust and mines been installed for some months, thats acctually a picture of the ones I made sell.
