G'day
Thanks for the response...
Well, it went to Western Motorcycles this morning. Yes, the manual has a full description, but my next step would have been to cut slots across the axle and turn it with a drift or loooong steel bar. So I engaged some people who can use drifts and bars better than I can ;-)
I discovered something while I was at Westerns - somewhere between 99 and 05 (and reading your post, 02 on) the axle was changed from an external hex (about 22mm) made of soft material to an internal hex which looks a whole lot better and stronger and which would suit your beaut SST, no doubt.
I've asked for the axle to be replaced ($120) and I've asked can the current design be retrofitted? Because I don't like the idea of continuing with someone else's butchery...
Should know all (or some of) the answers tomorrow.
Regards
Kevin
And while I was playing I replaced the front pads with EBC (non-sintered I think), I've had em in the garage for a while waiting... <i></i>
