CB350/400 / Re: Front fork problem
« on: October 23, 2014, 11:59:50 AM »
the way I got mine off was wrap fork in a towel put it in a workmate or the like and use an allen key on a socket,

one like this

did not use a lot of pressure , more of a snap action to break the seal

well head is off I think it was just catching on the threads, plus I missed one washer in the middle of the head ( recessed ones )

from what I can tell once you get a smooth ring on both faces your good to go ?

 also does the part the valve slides into  need to come out ? original head has new stem seals

valve guides ?

changing this head of mine

is it simply a matter of cleaning up faces for the new gaskets ?

also valves after lapping in do the valves have to go back into same place from old head

took of the 12 nuts that hold down the head, took out tensioner bolt...... and allen head bolt

now it prises up 3-5 mm and gets caught on something

anything I have missed, cant seem to see anything else

are they the same stud either side of cylinder head

also best way to remove studs without snapping only need a couple each side for replacement head
