If they are brittle or showing any cracks they will need replacing  ;)

Thanks Trigger,
I'll have a look and check them.
Presumably they're quite easy to prise out and replace?

Cheers,
Andy

Looks like my cam horse shoe has wear on it. Feels sharp edges around the 'shiney' area. Plus, the guides feel rough. I've managed to free it up but it has a tight spot. Do I throw it and get new or maybe get re engineered with brass bushes?
