changed idlers on a nice shiny one once, and it was no picnic-lots of big hammers and swearing. Ended up pressing in the newies with the machines own q.h pin. Driver loved it and said it was fast and strong to dig, but I thought it was a pig to work on. Idlers seemed to have worn out very quick to me.
