Title: Verslavy installation
Post by tom3949 on 09/05/15 at 03:21:23

I received my new verslavy cam chain adjuster this week ;D and am in the process of installing it on my LS400. I have just removed the circlip from the old housing - and this is the point where it should just slip easily off. However it won't budge >:(

Something else seems to be retaining it. I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

Cheers

I fitted mine recently.
The housing is a very snug fit on the shaft.
It needed a good 'wiggling' to get it off.
I also replaced the circlip with a new one for good measure.

should just pull off once you've got the clip off.

Cheers,

I will try again and give it a good 'wiggle'!

The parts explosion diagram doesn't indicate that anything else could be retaining it and I can't imagine the fitting of the adjuster is any different between an LS400 and an LS650.

It moves a good few milimetres forwards and backwards and then it is almost like the lip where the circlip goes is restricting any further movement. Maybe I will also try a bit of WD40 on it as well.

A bit of WD40 and lots of wiggle - now sorted!

It was a very snug fit!

That's typical. Stuff gets dried oil, gunk, anytime you have a sleeve on a post, clean the post end up.

Verslavy now fitted and bike put back together - after being laid up over the summer. Have just taken it for a test ride and it sounds and feels much better!

Thanks everyone for the help.
