Hi All,
I've delved into the front suspension rebuild (finally) and I have a couple
of questions to run by..
First, I am having trouble getting the upper trunnion pin out on one side.
On the other side, I simply hit the end of the pin with a hammer and it
popped out the other side. On this side however, I can only move it
about 1 mm (and I've been hitting it pretty hard). From the diagrams
I can't see what could be hanging it up. The trunnion rotates freely about
it! Any ideas? I've also tried hammering a screwdriver under the pin
head and using a BF C-clamp to press it out to no avail.
Second Q, should I use LM Grease or something else to prevent seisure of
the trunnion pins and a-arm bushes. There seems to be some sort of silver
stuff on the trunnion pins now (moly grease?) and I have also heard you
should use 'copperslip' haven't seen that.
Turns out *both* the shocks are shot, I thought one was okay. Under the
front of the shocks are a bunch of thin shims, I don't see these on the
parts list, what are they about.
Thanks! Time to update the web site. I'm taking some pictures along the
way too. This is going to make a huge difference!!
