As the forks are penciled in for a rechrome and grind in the near future I will leave it out. Many thanks for all the wise words.

There was some sort of sealant/thread lock present around the lock bolt when I dismantled them. I have heat treated the copper washers so will see how that goes.

Thanks for all the advice. First up tried the reassembly and spring compression method, no joy. So picked up the offending fork and walked down the road to my local garage. Air gun worked a treat. If I had known would have gone there with both in the first place.
Now a quick question for the assembly. The workshop manual mentions a " liquid sealant" on the threads of the socket bolt prior to assembling. Any particular type?
Cheers,
Greg

I am replacing the seals on the front forks. The first one has come apart fine however ( there is always a however) the second is sulking. The bottom socket bolt, oil lock piece and under seat pipe are all rotating! So how do I hold the internal gubbins still while I undo the socket bolt. Thanks in advance for your wise words.

Another couple of beginner questions.
Torque setting for the oil filter and torque setting for the oil drain bolt.
Thanks,

Just spent a couple of happy hours cleaning the sump and changing the filter. Now all is back together I can't find a torque setting for the sump bolts. Can anyone let me know?
Thanks,

The bike I have was partially dismantled before the owner sadly passed on to the Ace Cafe in the sky. The breather chamber that goes under the air box has not been refitted. So can it be reattached in situ, if so how? Or should I dismantle the air box, attach the breather chamber and put it all back where it started from. I only ask hoping there is a short cut. Thanks for all advice.

Advice from the wise please.
First up I was wondering what "liquid sealant" I should use when replacing the socket bolt at the base of the front forks?
Secondly, I am missing the filter from the base of the air box that goes between the two panches. DSS does not have any so was wondering what material to use and then trim to fit. Suggestions please.
Cheers Greg

Thanks Lobo. As I was putting in a new exhaust I was inclined to replace them, however as their job is to transfer the pressure from the finned clamps to the exhaust flange ensuring the new gasket seals. I think I will wait and see what condition the old ones are in.

Thanks for the info guys. I found a good thread on the state side forum which answered all and more, must remember to check it next time, cheers.

I am not talking about the finned clamps at £25+ vat each! but the split collar pairs at £7.50 that go around the pipes before the finned collar clamps them along with the gasket.

My dad was in Lagos, Nigeria some years ago and viewed a local on a motor bike wearing a crash helmet made from a cutout plastic football with a chin strap. It conformed with the law!
