Once a VeeDubber always a VeeDubber. I was just installing new bearings
in the front end last nite. Uded one of my BIG metric ones but never
paid attention to the size...
I got a question for u. Im putting the front end back on after getting
the triple tree and upper plate powder coated. I cant remember if the
top plate goes on with welds exposed up or down. I believe its up from
crummy manual pix. but then my lock washer under the center yoke shaft
hold down does not want to fit in smoothly...unless there is just a bit
too much powder coat built up there.
thank
scott

Hi, Was installing new races in the wheels tonight and discovered that a 36mm socket (rear axle nut on older VW's) is a perfect fit for seating races without getting stuck in the hub. Someday I'll buy a press. Ray |
