robfg67 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Ok, so I pulled the CAD assembly from the front axle and removed the 3 c-clips. I can’t figure out how the shaft separates from the housing. Perhaps I’m as dumb as a bag of…well, CAD assemblies, but can someone let me know how to separate these two so I can add the washers? Lastly, I bought 5/8” washers from the hardware store and now that I have this thing open, they look too big. The outside diameter is 1 3/4”.
mjeff87 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 twist and pull the diapragm thingy....the shaft is attached to the inside of it. It will pull the shaft from the housing. Jeff
robfg67 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks Jeff, 20 years of oxidation made me question if I was missing something. And yes, I also realized that my washers could be used like hub caps.
BLHTAZ Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 You should be able to do this without washers. I haven't tried it yet, but I have been told that all you have to do is remove the e-clips (that you have already), slide the fork over and then just re-install the e-clip on the other side of the fork and it will hold it in place in the locked position.
