Guest jules greenway Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 hi guysWhile working thru the Brakes on the 8-90 I decided to remove and refurbish all the rods, levers and linkages. All of the Clevis Pins were badly worn, some were seized in the levers and the holes in the levers were worn-two quite badly. I decided to replace every Clevis Pin and here's where I discovered what may be a "Top Tip". New pins are available in the UK in both Imperial (inch) and metric sizes; the originals are 5/16" diameter so I purchased 8mm Metric replacements which measure 3thou larger (0.314 as opposed to 0.311) the worn holes could then be drilled out to suit and only two were so oversized as to need bushing. 20 or so pins later and all is well! Now onto the Dampers which don't seem to have seen any oil for some time!regardsJules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
