300tdi non abs swivel pin adjust

or fit a length of tube over the spanner. easier to hold/control...

either way, nice and tight seems to do the trick!

not sure if this has been answered yet but the pre load setting in situe with seals in place is 12-14 lb/ft

Well guys I gave it a shot and OMG
The brake pipe union would not come undone
Loosend both swivel pin bolts no prob
Then found swivel grease started to leak fom the bottom of the:doh: ball
Then found the brake pipe bracket was interlocked with the mud guard thingy
Put it all back together and re fitted the drag link and track arm(with new ends-getting the old ones off is another story
Fitted new damper and brake pads and called it a day
Swivel pins will wait until the whole assembly is overhauled
Thanks all for the help and advice
