Thanks Lee Ross

Hi Lee Sorry to hyjack, I take that this is for a Grimeca hub ? as I was about to try and source these same bolts for my SWM. Thanks Ross

Three out of the four removed with a combination of heat, hitting and duck oil. Forth still resisting. At least the barrel is moving slightly so should free off eventually. All the corrosion is between the studs and the barrel, the actual threads look fine. Are they locktited in originally ? Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Ross

Hi Martin Have been trying that, the studs will twist by 20/30 degrees, didnt want to break them and end up having to drill them out of barrel / crank case. Good to know they are available if required. Thanks Ross

No movement from studs or barrel. Tried to remove the studs but don't want to break them, gently tapped the barrel but only bending the fins. Ross

Hi all. In the process of "trying" to remove the barrel for a re-bore. The four long studs that go right through to the crank case are solid. Haven't been touched for decades. I have been regularly spraying them with wd40 & duck oil but so far no movement. A friend has suggested a hot air gun, which I haven't bought yet, is this the best way ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks Ross

You haven't seen the price of a competitive 2"pre 65" then !

All the pre 65's & twin shocks being recycled must also be making a dent in new sales.

Don't apologize, very sensible question. No point in being wise after the event.

TL1215's, that must be a big bore kit !

Company car - Insurance - butchery !

Can't be easy finding trials to tax you Mark, are you riding the World Round ?

"virtually unbreakable, unless you drop or hit it"

Have a look at SWM forum for parts manual kindly supplied by MartinM page 17 shows an O ring part 46 on the shaft.

Got to agree, great event. Weather was good, sections were challenging (for me) without being silly. Each day was quite different, full marks to the team. Rapidly becoming a mini pre-65 scottish ! Great ride by Stuart Rockett. (dropping 2?) Ross

Glad you explained about the noMates, thought you had run out of condoms !

More work for secretary on the day, and more importantly, commits weather conscious riders to turn up on a bad day. Just about to post mine off Davie. Ross

Is any of this true ? What say you? Could these all be true? Fortunately Judges often intervene

Sorry, only room for one head up there.

like to see it on a camber !

Hi Moleman I have done it before but it was such a bogger that I was hoping for a easier way. Think I'll try sticking them in the freezer and heating the swinging arm. Thanks for your reply Ross

Good find.

Thanks moleman, getting the old ones out is easier than getting the new ones in. Any suggestions ? Are C&D Autos best for replacement bushes ? Ross

Are there any topics about the easiest way to change Silent Block bushes, or any advice. Where's the best place to get them as well. Thanks in advance Ross
