Cam follower on a AXX engine

It's not to hard if you take your time.

I will post a few pictures and hopefully it will make sense on how to get the banjo bolt undone.

If you have the m8 triple spline bit the same size as mine you can use a 10mm ring spanner on it. Makes it so much easier to undo. Hope it makes sense.

Thanks for all your help guys. I was just nervous about the fuel thinking I was doing something wrong.

I'm sure I have a set of bits that I can use lying around somewhere. Will fish it out tomorrow hopefully the weather holds out.

Had no idea about the door though! Will open the bonnet on the stealth  :happy2:

dazza:
Its always worth checking the cam follower. This is how my follower looked when i got the car a year ago. Yet to see one in a worse state than this.

Also added a pic of the follower i took out today after one year/5000 km.

shoaybmakda:
That looks quite worn through! I'm hoping that mine doesn't look that bad but at least if it is I can show my mechanic who thinks it doesn't need changing that I wasn't going on about it for no reason!

Roadrebel:
I checked mine at 116k and there was nothing wrong with it.

You may want to wrap some tape round the bit so it doesnt fall through the spanner and disappear in some dark corner!
