Where did those two months go??
Got back into the garage finally and started installing my "All Balls" Steering Head Bearings.
Read a few posts and threads and followed everybody else’s advice and experiences and it went quite well I thought. I was going to post a step by step but so many other people have done it already with much more detail and expertise than I ever would. So I left it too the experts!!
I put bearing races and the steering head in the freezer for a couple of hours.
The races pushed into the frame without too much trouble,
The bearing has to be pushed down over the large end of the steering head, but the freezer trick worked a treat. Gentle persuasion with a hammer and a large ring spanner and it pushed home quite easily.
Steering All Finished.
For the past few weeks I’ve been cleaning and degreasing my engine ready for painting. I've once again searched previous threads and took some notes. I've gone into the engine cleaning process with the motto... "Clean it as much as you can and then clean it some more"
Engine Degreaser in action
Washed off
Exactly how clean do I need to get it? It's very hard to get in between all the cooling fins, I’m happy with the rest of the engine but I’m a bit worried about the cooling fins, do they need to be spot less??
The local garage has a steam cleaner with I was thinking of using?? Would this be of any use??
Finally I chucked the tank and seat back on for a bit of motivation and to remember to she looked when I started...
Feel like I made a bit of progress today and hopefully it won't be another two months before my next post!!
Cheers
Rich
