Nurse Julie:
I'm not really worried about the polishing, just wanted it nice and tight. Took it apart and some plonker PO had put copper grease in it. Anyways it's all sorted now, nice and tight and working a treat. I still think £70 is plenty of money for that job, I would want at least 3 for that, being a hard up Nurse and all that  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

There's nowt wrong with using a smear of copper grease to prevent it seizing up, I'm thinking of injecting it under my kneecaps.

Nurse Julie:
See you for two knee replacements soon then Mike  ;D ;D ;D ;D. Grease without copper bits grinding away behind your knee caps  may be more suitable  : ::) ::) ::) ::)

mike the bike:
Normal grease it is then, now where did I put that grease gun?

I don't see how its sorted now Julie if there was play before. The hole in the alloy bit becomes oversize and the pin is loose usually because of the corrosion on the pin and alloy. Has anyone bushed the alloy arm one of these ?  I have looked at a few parts from PD engineering but they do seem a bit pricey plus the SS he uses is probably a weaker material than the original steel... I am sure this is OK due to safety factors designed in by Honda but on paper,a weaker part IMHO.
