grease in place. He also re-enforced the threaded tube for the pin and put =
grease fittings on both ends for complete lubrication. He knows his stuff!

Dave only works for people he likes and that come highly recommended, so do=

BN1 and a BN2 to Eric Grunden of Absolutely British. Definitely NOT inexpe=

I'm getting too old for this.

Plus, a lot of people on this list and various forums were helpful as
well. For the most part, there are no 'special tools' required (mostly,
just a selection of big hammers ;).
There are a few gotchas, if you endeavor to undertake this, I would be
glad to fill you in on what I learned (the hard ways ;)).
