Hi all...I'm referring to the inner nut on the suspension ear ,inner end of pivot shaft.
Can anyone tell me why this nut always seems to loosen? Every time I put a wrench on it I can tighten it by about 1 turn. It tightens up, then a week later it's loose again? Car is a 74 2.0 liter, I have Eric's bushings in the trailing arm. Thanks!! Mike |

914 teener...it's a good thought but with the heat exchangers just under the trailing arm, I would think that would be impossible. I can hardly get a box end wrench on it to tighten it!!

Mike You can break the nut with the HE's on. I've done it. You may need to remove the shock IIRC. I used a box wrench and with the car jacked up high enough...wasn't much of a problem. Then just break the three nuts on the mounting pedestal...remembering how many shims are there and in what positions. Not sure if you need to just unmount the rear caliper and take off the e-brake cable with the one clip. I think you do. You should then be able to muscle out the pivot shaft from the chassis ear. Then just tap the pivot shaft through the bushings. |
