Front end - fitting is reversal of removal...

 The lower bearing carrier cleaned up and placed back on  the painted front hub arm, i wanted to remove the suspension swing arm bearings - but could not make them budge, so i inspected the bearings and replaced the two outer seals (pics later)



The front brake cable and speedometer cables were fed through the steering column without too much effort..

 



bit more done...

 


 more progress..at a leisurely pace..

Got the front swing arm installed 





 Getting there...

  Getting this back on the road - having stood unloved for many years


The teardown has begun - front first, i finally got to the front spindle - first obstacle is to remove the two bearing carriers ..i think i will pass this job to the local garage - as i will just use a big hammer!


i have disassembled to just the leg - shock absorber, mount , speed and brake cables all removed

Front hub




Running video

 Small video of it running, lights etc The fuel gauge itself does work when I short the fuel sender plug, but not when plugged into the send...
