Well, I went to see my dealer today, and came away with all
I need to wrap this up(I hope). It took me the better part
of an hour and a half(there was a 3 car wreck in front of
the place). I had my new dig mic with me, and went through
the box of shims with the mechanic. I measured them, and he
wrote the #'s on 'em with a sharpie. I got the 4 I needed,
as well as the copper washers, and o-ring, for the oil tube.
Add in a quart of fork oil, and I got outta there for $23.
Instead of swapping shims, I thought I'd keep the old ones,
and offer 'em up to anyone here that could use 'em. When I'm
done, I'll post in the shim bank.
From there, I went to Sears and got the Micro-Torque 3/8
drive for 80 bucks, and a 3/8 drive T-30 torx bit.
The re-assembly begins tomorrow. It's supposed to be 70df
in the afternoon, and I hope to be takin' a test ride.
I spent $200 on a mic and torque wrench for this job, but
I figure it's money well spent on tools, rather than spent
on labor that I wouldn't feel comfortable about, unless I
checked it over myself. It's my meat in the seat!
Signing off to get back to the manuals,
Uncle Charlie
