Not really,
2 6ft straight edges would
The idea is you put it around the front wheel,,about 8in from the ground, then pull equally both sides to the rear wheel,
As the rear tyre is wider, the string should just touch the leading edge of the tyre,
Next you check the gap at the front tyre,
It's fairly easy to see if both sides are equal.
If not, adjust the rear wheel as necessary

+1 to that. That's the way I've always done it.

I had the same growing up experience as K2-K6. Frost on widows, burst water pipes and cold lino. As I said we had storage heaters in 1970. Never had an issue with any (except a problem with a fan that one had) in the 37 years until he died.

Just the one (lucky?) bidder £2500. A 550 to do refurbish is often in the region of £1200-£1300 + a couple of hundred to deliver. Why bother if you can ride this away a grand more?

Father in law had his boiler moved from bedroom to loft about 10 years ago or so. They insisted on good access with a quality fitted ladder. But it worked out fine.
My father had storage heaters. They all had separate 20A switched d/p outlets.

Now £1099.99 but still £50 off if quick. Those who bought early did well.

Presumably the pin is rotating with the stand, so moving in the frame fixings.
Could try the usual cycle of easing oils and heat. Put something between any hammering device and the pin as they are easily distorted.
I had one on a 500 and I had to thread a hacksaw blade through it and saw through it to free it.

When fitting the block you can either leave the tensioner loose and it will waggle around a fair bit or push the blade back by hand against the spring and lock it off with the nut to hold it firmly upright. The loose way gives opportunity for it to miss. The fixed way in theory should be better if all is straight.

I always fit the sump after the block so you can check the tensioner is in the slot by looking up underneath. It can miss and slip behind, done that a few times.

Plenty of nasty stuff in cleaning and plating shops. Know someone died when they fell in a trich tank years ago when that was used as common and also a couple of others in our work who had badly damaged skin. And that's on the outside.

Well done Mick. I would get the charging fixed and then take it for a run on some quiet roads and avoiding traffic lights and see what develops.
