fifthwheel Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thanks for the link thats very useful. Its not corroded but stuck and has been painted over. Its not been moved for years, If I try to free it I think it will be scrap but might as well try if its a fail as it is. john. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If it's not obviously corroded, leave it.......if the shock is still working, then the tester would have no cause to try to adjust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
