View attachment 500671 All looks ok (balls and springs in good order) so I will now be removng, stripping and overhauling it. View attachment 500672 Of course I've stumbled at the first hurdle, I need the special socket @OJCar mentioned. Anyone have one they's be prepared to part with/lend me? Click to expand... Just use a hammer and drift.

Well worth getting one of your own. I suggest you get a new nut (part number 217477) if yours shows signs of having been undone/done up with a hammer and chisel. Click to expand... Ordered
