| Remove
Front Axle: The
axle safety nut had rubbed the axle and created a burr on the inner race. We could
only pull the axle out about 0.250 before the burr hit the race. A long steel
rod was welded onto the end of axle so it could be hammed out. You can see the
damage to the axle and shavings. | ||||

Repair: The
axle was placed on the lathe and the race guides were repaired. | ||||

the forks and Triple Trees:
The forks are removed and set aside. The new 12 over fork
tubes will be installed into the fork lowers. The triple tree and handle bars
are removed as an assembly. | ||||
