anthony1956 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I managed to replace mine without removing anything more than the wheels, the nuts from the 4 DeDion ear bolts , the A frame bolt and the brake T. It involved a bit of wiggling to extricate it, but it's possible to do without too much deconstruction. and i'LL HAVE A look at the manual.thanks ... need a new, new keyboard too, fing caps key ...again.

simonpa Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's a bit of a squeeze, but it's quite possible to change the deDion through the side of the car and without having to remove much apart from undoing the 2 ear bolts and the rear A-frame. On the R500 you'll probably need to undo the rear radius arm to the Watts link too. Is there a problem with yours, or is this a preventative measure?

anthony1956 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 sorry, what I mean is: why so many new DeDion tubes being ordered? Is it indicative of some underlying trend. If it is I would like to know about it so while I am considering my position regarding my own DeDion tube. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
