Paul,
Not being able to find your manuals and proceeding to rebuild your front
suspension is no different than not ever having the manuals and
attempting to rebuild your front suspension. Either find them or buy
another set before you proceed further. That would allow you to require
less patience from the list and give you more confidence and information
for your rebuild.

Good luck on your project,

Yep, Randall, your mental immage and me went amiss!  And I have just
earned my rookie 'merit badge'!  After trying to seperate the trunnion
and vertical link by hitting the screwdriver with a sledge hammer (not
having read your comments), a light went off and saw the stop-bolt on
the back of the trunnion! Piece of cake from there.

And my spring compressor? -a rented combination of another internal and
external spring compressor.  Learning the hard way comes natural!

Somebody else suggested I get a manual.  But I already have three.  I
just can't find them!  So here's my next question for the list:
    Is the trunnion grease seal suppose to face up (like it would cup
water or
grease) or does it face down (and lip over the brass trunnion?).  Do
people feel like killing me?

Patience is a virtue,
Paul Dorsey
