Hey folks,
As some might have seen on my gallery thread I have rear toe issues, mainly on the passenger side. Both adjusters were seized according to the geo place so I have a few days to get them undone so they can recheck.
I've got the locking nuts off and using a 24mm deep socket I've released both the 'collars' (or whatever they're called) and they are now turning.
On the driver side, I can feel the nut turning the other side when I move the collar using the socket. I can also see that the wheel moves a little as I adjust. So I assume this one is now adjustable? It was pretty much bob on so I've probably knocked it out now. Be good it you could confirm this sounds good and doesn't need more work?
On the passenger side, the collar came off. When it's on and I use the socket to move it, the nut on the back doesn't move and the wheel sin't moving too, so I assume the nut still being seized will prevent it being adjusted. I took the advice from my gallery thread and tried to hammer out the bolt from the rear of the car forwards. It's knackered the thread so the locking nut won't go back on and it's refusing to move. I've used a lot of fluid on it too.
Short of 'a bigger hammer' any ideas on how to get out?
Thanks all.
