thanks i figured as much, i tend to get ahead of myself sometimes, need to do a lot before i paint
Move at all, so either the spring seat,8 is Turning or the adjusting rod is broken. Appears ill have to pull the whole thing to take a look. I will keep you informed and tRy to remeber to take pictures so maybe we can collect enOugh pictures as a group to make a better repair manual.
Yup thats it. Bolt number 7 appears to have broken off deep in the housing. I soaked everthing in penetrating oil and with a long pipe on a 24 inch wrench i was able to turn the adjusting bolt 3, it doest
No grease fitting, i cant see any threads on the adjusting rod but i only have about an inch before the idler wheel bracket is at the end of its run. When i removed the bolt above the Adjusting rod seat ( spring seat) it apeears to be broken off deep in the housing would that matter?
Thanks so much bob
when i try and turn the Adjusting screw i can get about an 1/8 rotation but the end that goes into the cylinder moves horizontally a little bit, i think the adjusting screw/yoke may be broken or maybe Totally unscrewd from the cylinder. I will try penetranting oil before i pull the cylinder.
If i do have to remove the cylinder can i saFely take it apart or will the springs make it impossible for the novice to put back together?
