Idler Arm Spring Adjustment
1. Measure the coil length of the idler arm spring
(A, Figure 57) as shown in Figure 57. The
measurement should equal 3-5/16” (8,4 cm).
2. If the measurement does not equal 3-5/16” (8,4
cm) loosen the jam nut (B) and turn the nylock
flange nut (C).
• Turn the nylock flange nut CLOCKWISE to
increase the length of the measurement.
•
Turn the nylock flange nut COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to decrease the length of the
measurement.
3. When the coil length of the idler arm spring equals
3-5/16” (8,4 cm), retighten the jam nut.
