The gent from Madison, Cheeseland would never say what I
am about to <VBG> !!! But first he actually beat mt to the
CORRECT [partial] answer <G>:
<< DON'T DO IT! Leave the arm on the shaft.
It is indexed. Why do you want to remove it? >>
Yep, dats da truth <G> !! HOWEVER, one has the shox in-hand
and you say to yerself; "well, it worked ok when I took it of
so I'll just paint it correctly and reinstall."
DON'T DO IT !!!!
Do you REALLY want it to start LEAKING a few months after
car is totally back together and back on the road ?? Do you
REALLY want it to stop working correctly a few months after
car is totally back together and back on the road ??
I know my personal answer and it *should* be the same !!
Drain it, wrap it up and send to Peter to be PROPERLY re-built,
PAINTED [as per Concours Guidelines unless you want differ-
ent] and returned to you with a Limited LIFETIME warrentee
!!!!!!
Ah, guess I wasted my time in writing this, 'cause I can "save"
a bit less than 2 bills and I'll address the leaky shox and bad
paint when it does fail. Besides, I'm just totally *enjoying*
re-building the front end and when the shox DOES fail 'and
it WILL !!], it'll be LOTS of fun re-building that side again !!!
Fun, Fun, Fun !!!
