Great ! Can it be done on the spot ?

Looks as if it needs a special tool of some sort... :roll:

Yes it can - you need a torx bit. I can't rember if its t10 or t15 and use a suitable spanner to turn it. I sticky taped the bit to the spanner as I kept dropping the torx bit [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

The tricky part is getting the vac arm to drop over the pin inside the dist ( not that hard ) just feel around and make sure the arm is attached before bolting inplace.

If your running short of time just pay the $30 deposit and return the crook one later for your money back.

Bruce.

Also - dont forget to get your timing checked as it was probably set by the PO to be OK without the vac advance ( unless it only just died ) and will be way out with a working vac unit.

Bruce.

OK you are speaking gibberish to be when you say torx bit. What are they, where do you get them? how much and when u say a suitable spanner I hope you just mean a normal spanner of a suitable size ?

Maybe it would be easier to get one, pay the deposit, get MR to fit it and return the thing (its due for a service anywa) and then take the old one back for teh deposit.

You'll learn more by doing it yourself, but it would be easier for MR to do it while they're in there 8)

Bruce.

The guy at Carb n Gas will do it all for you including check and adjust the timing.

You will need to book a time though, I gather he is quite busy.

Cheers

another good one is Mike Bushnel at Dual Fuel services at caboolture.

AA++ operator, really knows his stuff when it comes to this sort of gear...

i believe he imports a lot of the gear directly...
