Ok, got the new parts, see plastic bags:



First I had to find a way to take the preload adjuster apart. Couldn't get the piston out. Solved the problem with a little piece of aluminium, see above on the left. Picture down installed:



Fitted new filter oil:



Made an alu block to clamp the axle. Heated the end eye bracket and managed to take it off (just turn it ccw):



Next the adjuster wheel that needs to be replaced. Again managed to take it off, but with a little surprise.. The ring behind the rubber adjuster wheel is damaged. Part is allready en route

Hi Brutus,

Great photos! Thanks for posting them

Mick

Just out of curiosity Brutus, are the part numbers matching up with the spec sheet I posted ?
Looks like you're doing a great job,it will all go back together a lot easier than it came apart. J.

Jay, I've scanned the note and the specsheet that the dealer supplied.





The specsheet is rather of poor quality. Send me a pm if you want a pdf-file. Checked with the specs you've posted and they match:
