Worn steady-bar rubbers will allow an engine to rock exces- sively, causing clutch judder and putting an unnecessary strain on the exhaust system. The illustrations show how the job is done on a Mini.

Step 1. Remove the fixing bolt and loosen the cover bracket bolt on the cylinder head.

2. Swing the steady bar clear, and push the old rubbers from the eye.

3. Fit the new rubbers and sleeve by hand. If they are difficultto fit, coating them in washing-up liquid will help them into the eye.

4. Fit the centre sleeve, re- assemble the bracket and fixing bolt, and tighten both bolts.
