Woody 350 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I just picked up some Full Flight +2, +1 a-arms and was wondering what to expect with the installation process. Do I need any special tools and what problems might I encounter. Thanks for any info Quote

Woody 350 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 no special tools put them on like you take your other ones off its easy The instructions say use a secial tool to separate the ball joints, do I need a pickle fork for that? What did you use? Quote
sheething1127 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 The instructions say use a secial tool to separate the ball joints, do I need a pickle fork for that? What did you use? hit em with a hammer on the spindle Quote

jbooker82 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I would aslo buy a desent angle finder for setting the caster (tilting of the top ball joint forward or back). If you dont set the caster up right it will steer really easy just a little ways from the forward position but hard from all the way one way back to the easy spot down the middle. Or vise versa if you have it to far forward. I ditched a pair of ASR's on my raptor because I was tired of messing with the caster, and the Heims creeked and poped after a couple rides. I went with a non adjustable caster set of HD USA A arms that use ball joints instead of the Heim joints. josh Quote
