Looks like a fairly simple job according to the book - I'm going to have a look at mine soon 'cos the tyres haven't worn evenly. Looks like all you need is spanner, Stilson wrench and a stick.

tracking em up is a piece of ****. It's just a case of rotating the steering bars.

one degree out, your a bit picky for a landy owner

Messing with the tracking is a hell of a long winded way to move the steering wheel round a bit.

It's not the tracking - don't adjust the track rod. Loosen the clamps on the drag link (the one at the front that goes from the relay to the front left hub) and rotate the drag link with a Stilson wrench or similar. The balljoints are left and right threaded so rotating one way will lengthen the drag link and vice versa. Start off with the wheels forward and the steering wheel offset and adjust until the steering wheel is straight.
