Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
Today I installed my ADD chromoly king pin and bronze bushing rebuild kit in my original Mitsubishi Idler arm housing. Here is the kit out of the box.
My trashed idler assembly, pretty sure in addition to the bent shaft the bushings are shot. (break the arm nut loose before removing from assembly the truck)
First off I removed the cap from the top of the housing, only the Mitsubishi Idler has a snap ring under the cap. Some aftermarket units have caps but are still non serviceable.
Snap ring pliers would have been great here, couldn't find mine but I was able to get it out with my needle nose pliers.
I'll go clean these parts, be right back...
