in specting the outer one is easy it seem to me that inspecting the inner one is a major endever

 

A flashlight and a small mirror on a stick helps.

 

Uncle Peepers I did not know you could see the inside one on a 2008 even with a mirror

 

Well, they do call him Uncle Peepers for a reason.

 

LOL, made me chuckle

 

well is uncle peepers right can you see it with a mirror?

 

Hah. You don't want to know the real reason:-). I've used the mirror on a stick with older TC's, but come to think of it, I haven't looked at the tensioners on my 2011 model. As much as it pains me to admit it, there is some possibility I could be wrong. I hope someone jumps in here and straightens this out.

 

Yes. just get a dental mirror from Ebay - $2.00 or so.

 

ok guys I will have a look then I don't wont to cut my pushrods if I don't have to Thanks for the help

Because of the angle, it's rather hard to judge the wear on the inner shoe, other than to note it is there.
