CRB removal

[Molecular--Bob]

OK, so how do you get the crb on a type 9 fitted to a crossflow to leave the arm. I am about 10 minutes from hitting it with the 4lb adjusting spanner. It may not help but i will feel better.

Don't bother just replace both! *tongue*

I always removed the arm from the bellhousing by pulling/cutting off the plastic retaining tube at the opposite end from the cable. You can then access the rear of the crb and flip up the spring clips.

You'll need a new plastic grommet on the rebuild

2 sprung "barbs" on CRB hold it in place - give them a poke with a small screwdriver

H'mmmmmm, lots of options.

 

I shall try them in reverse order and see what happens.

Good Idea 😬

As Paul says *arrowup*, there are two metal spring tabs you need to press in and the CRB will pop off nicely.

And once it's off, you can beat it to death 😬

There is a 4th way.

 

I'm getting a local small garage to give me a written report for dvla v5 requirements, as my engine is in their eyes used even though it has never run, and the guy dropped in to see how i was getting on.

 

Seeing my problem he went to the van and returned with a small claw hammer and used it to pop each tab off the arm. Apparently even ford dealers did this if the crb was not going to be reused.
