    Front Left Caster adjuster had lots of build up of white oxidation so removed the adjuster completely and cleaned the internal hole around the compliance pivot.

    What a long day…..



    Even after soaking the bolts and nuts with penetrating oil, still some of them were really seized and didn’t want to move.
