forks refitting back into yolks

(1/2) > >>

MIKE550/4:
been struggling with this today, whats the knack guys  :-\

seems really tight to push through the yolk, but cant "open " the yolk holes any more

manuals just seem to say refit is reverse of removal ......rubbish  :D

Dave M:
It really is Mike.

Mine came out and slipped back in with no effort.

MIKE550/4:
yolks been powder coated, if that makes a difference,

dave have tried this for a couple of hours,  did not think it would be this difficult , forks fed from the bottom though bottom yolk, literally half an inch and they stop, tried spreading the yolks a bit wider but not much give , started to file the inside of yolks and gave up way to much hard work

these should just slide up if im right ?

Bryanj:
They will slide up as long as the inside of the holes dont have powdercoat on them!!

mick:
you might have to get yourself a Dremmel in there to clean the powdercoat off  ;) cheers Mick.
