Removed both Hockey sticks to fit my camber adjusted ones.

Jesus - what a palaver....
one bolt either side seized solid
had to remove A/R bar then had to hacksaw through. Cutting disc wouldnt get in there and recip saw just blunted the saw blade

Cleaned it all up and Kurusted the brackets ready for a couple of coats of Hammerite prior to fitting the new sticks.

Friday I realized it was slightly broken.

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

Even had a spun big end

[/IMG]

Which looked even worse than the others.

[/IMG]

Saturday I ripped it all out.

[/IMG]

And today I stripped it to investigate.
It's not good :frown:

[/IMG]

Head bolt slightly worn.

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

[/IMG]

Some nice crosshatching on some of the bores mind.

[/IMG]

Cam lobes are worn and pitted.

[/IMG]

Tappets are very pitted. Some worse than others.

[/IMG]

[/IMG]


But it's all in bits, and the garage looks like a bombs hit it

I got to grips with my C post and after cutting, grinding and hammering, I found the taking two more rivets out lets the whole thing go.
So one side at a time and learn.

Quite a few! We go over about four times a year because I like food and wine! That makes it all worthwhile.
