Does anyone remember who posted or where there are pics or notes on the Idler arm brace install? I've used the search function but it wasn't there.
It would appear to be very easy, I just wouldn't mind hearing of any tricks or tips that may help.
Thanks

I posted a series of pictures on photopoint. Then Photopoint unplugged its server :(
SIMPLE install. Basic tools, no jacks required. Basically unbolt 5 nuts and/or bolts, slide the thing together (don't reuse the big washer) and tighten the thing back together!
It is helpful to remove a few gromets on that black (fabric?) stuff near the idler arm, to see the inner aspect of the frame (and the other side of the bolts you'll be working with).

It is very easy. One thing you may want to do is grease the pivot point on the bottom of the idler arm where it touches the brace. The original design had some issues with compatiblity on tubular (SLR & AC) lift kits due to the extended droop these, but it has since been redesigned to work fine. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding.
