Hi John
My wife always told me that I was a tactless clod. My apologies if my note
sounded a little curt.
When I attacked my front suspension, I had the advantage of having purchased
all of the parts, including new trunions, since I wanted to perform a
complete redo. Having the parts in hand made the disassembly process a lot
simpler because, along with the TRF spare parts assembly diagrams (Blue
Book), it aided in knowing how the parts went together.
I also had the advantage of this web reference authored by P. Macholdt and
posted on http://www.tr6world.com/front_suspension.htm and VTR's Triumph
Maintenance Handbook at http://www.vtr.org/maintain/index.shtml
As to the unselfish aid provided by this list, I wholeheartedly agree. I've
learned more in the several years I've followed it than I could ever have
learned from manuals, besides giving moral support in keeping my LBC on the
road.
Good luck with your project.
Regards,
Jerry

Well, certainly Jerry, wouldn't dream of tackling the suspension first time
without Bentley. Did you notice that it doesn't say to use a spring
compressor? It also doesn't say what to do when the nuts are frozen, and
the pivot bolt is sheared. For that, we have the list. Without it, I
probably wouldn't be doing this, Bentley or no.
I appreciate the help.
