Chris, and others who may contemplate this..
Instead of a deep socket, I used the spark plug tool out of my 9-elebin tool kit. the hex end fits nicely over the spring steel. Get a helper to push down on the spring while you swap the plastic for the new aluminum roller. Schweet and easy change-over. 'course I can understand your current approach.. |
