It connects the rocket to the chassis.

It is held by 2 bolts.

You need a 21 flat wrench and a wrench with a short T40 torx bit.

Unscrew the nut and remove it. The arm comes out easily by moving back and forth from the inside to the outside with the brake disc.

The chassis side is done in several stages.

The bolt must be unscrewed with the 18 fork extension on the nut and with an 18 flat wrench on the bolt head side.

Once loosened you will not be able to remove the bolt which is blocked by the bellows, you must remove the steering rod from the spindle.

Locate the steering tie rod.

Use the 21 flat wrench and the long T40 torx bit wrench to unscrew the nut.

Once the nut is unscrewed, remove it, take the connecting rod out of the rocket and place it above its location.

You can now remove the bolt from the chassis side cross arm.

To remove the cross arm, pull it horizontally.

Reassembly is carried out as follows:

Place the new part in its location on the chassis side then insert the bolt by hand-tightening the new nut supplied with the arm.

Replace the tie rod in its location and tighten the nut.

Place the cross arm in its location on the rocket side then tighten the nut.

Tighten the chassis side nut to the prescribed torque.

Reassemble the wheel.
