Hi All
The first reasonable day for some time so I thought I’d make a third attempt at getting the springs out of the RK.
It took some serious blows from the sledge hammer on a 30mm square steel tube threaded through the chassis.
Top spring is the one that has come out. Very worn and set to 8” rather than 6”.
New spring below and the bar below that. Check out the damage on the end of the bar
.
On to the off side tomorrow. More complex as I’ll have to remove the brake pivot
.
Cheers
Howard
