Thanks Mark,

Next time I'm in the HFreight TS, I'll pick up one.


Gracias.

Yup, i bought a 2 ft chunk of 7/8 hex stock and bent it into an allen wrench. A large bar on it would just bend it though so i opted to ''borrow'' a 7/8'' impact allen key socket (3/4 drive) from work. Some heat and a good 3/4'' breaker bar broke em loose and then 1/2'' impact to zing em out.

i used these guys for a complete rebuild kit, but they sell all the parts individually as well. They had great customer service and took care of me.

Quite inexpensive, as well.....

Thanks James !

 

You need to replace the pins unless you can chuck them up in a lathe and measure for concentricity. They tend to deform subtly and it's hard to tell if they are worn a little, and if you put new nylons on a worn pin you will have alignment issues.

 

haha no problem, i've probably taken wayyy more from this site and knowledge base than i'll ever be able to give back!
