    Steering Lever

    Anyone got on tips as to how to remove the steering lever from the suspension upright ( swivel pin ) ? The Haynes manual shows an item "key for lever" that appears to be a small half round piece of material - what is that about ? I can see a keyway but cant see anything in it ?

    Slacken the nut so that it protects the thread then carefuly hit it with a hammer preferably a copper one.Once it moves you can then take off the nut and remove the lever and catching the half round key.This is a woodruff key and that stops the lever turning in its hole and should be replaced if its missing.

      Hi Amgas. I am still holding a few spares bought from YKC when they sold up, and I am pretty sure there are some steering levers in the stuff that's left. So give me a ring if you want some new ones. My number is in the mag. [under Treasurer] Brian.

        Got them off fine - was worried about hitting them too hard :-) But they needed a good whack. Leaving a nut on the end of the thread was a good tip - thanks. Planning to swap them for modified ones for trials.
