What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
Managed to swop two out of the three top rollers easy just jacked up the track and undid simples👍 was-bloody tight🙄 But the other one had pulled the thread out of one hole and sheared the other three bolts off😢
tried the obvious weld a washer on then a nut but were too tight and just screwed the nuts off🤔 so drilled one to try an easy out 😢😢 no use way too tight
