[W126 Coupe] idler arm

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Pete,

Silicone spray on the rubber and the metal sleeve, air gun and expect to
install the idler arm repair kit with bolt and nut upside down form the way
you initially remove the original.  Soak it up really well and you should be
good to go.

Bolt threads I'd cover with PB Blaster or equivalent.

Takes just a few minutes to do the job.  I've done (4) in this manner as a
DIY'r.

Good luck,
Dick
