I'm in the process of replacing one of mine. Just a word of caution that if you over-tighten the two screws that attach to the trailing arm you will encounter problems (which is where I'm at - apparently an overzealous mech over-cranked it). The threading wore out on the nut which is attached to the inside of the trailing arm so I was forced to cut a hole on the other side of the trailing arm to fasten a new nut on top of the old one...I'll attach a pic later today - it's not elegant but I don't think I've compromised the trailing arm strength to any dangerous degree...at least I hope not.

I've been staring at the offset bolt wondering how the heck I'm going to access it in a manner that allows me to exert enough strength to loosen. The only impact gun I have is an electric version which is too bulky to fit in small space..Tips?
