need to replace mine...to pass inspection...anyone no of a how to video here or on youtube ...or some good info on doing this.....

 

Unbolt it and bolt in a new one. You might have to hit area of the center link where it passes through with a hammer.

Its not hard.

 

so i replaced my idler arm....105 lbs torque on the top bolts......40 lbs on the catle nut...(4x4wire toyota idler arm maintenance)...
but the catel nut is up high enough that the coter pin is just about at the bottom of the nut......is this alright...?

 

Can you explain that more clearly? Are you worried the castle nut has advanced too far or not enough on the stud?

 

As long as the castle nut cant spin, then your golden.
