Ok,
Stage one complete, the strip down has started!
Springs out, forks suspended upside down to let the skanky oil drain out, parts given a quick wipe down.
Couldn't get the bottom cartridge bolt out, reading the Haynes manual and some of the threads, looks like I'll have to Heath Robinson a socket on to some pipe somewhere along the line to hold the cartridge while I undo the bolt. Haynes manual mentions a Yam part no 90890-01447, anyone actually tried to get hold of one?
Reading the thread Mike recommended, they changed the valves also, anyone gone down this route themselves and any recommendations on the kit to get? Reading the thread, sounds reasonably simple if you have a) patience and b) more patience! :lol
Ok, last question, best place to get seals from?? And no, Antarctica isn't the answer I'm looking for!
Thanks again chaps.
Kev
