Filled it with oil and waiting for it to settle before removing the excess. As usual, there is bloody oil everywhere, I'm like that Exxon Valdez when I get going, bird life will be wiped out for miles around my garage. Jesus, I am sweating cobs. Wetter than a blindfolded lesbian in a fish market as they say in the posh end of town. I've had a real fight getting the fork back into the yokes. I'm about 2mm short compared to the other one that has remained undisturbed and I can no longer get enough grip to twist or push the thing any further. I have decided to use gravity to assist. I am refitting the wheel and will bounce it on the brakes to see if it moves up a little before putting the pinch bolts back in. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of screwdrivers will work as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
