Not sure what your asking but if you remove the whole thing invest in a urethane bushing kit,check your spindles, front bearings. My good friend Glauten Klause says you can struggle to get this all back in and attach pieces as you go.

No damn cat, No damn cradle. If it runs and needs minor repairs jump on it. You will easily surpase that on yours.(no disrespect intended) If you can pick up a runner and work on it as you go your enjoyment factor alone is worth it.

Its located behind the…[Read more]
