Can't believe it. On a rear tire change, my brake side adjuster axel
adjuster bolt became tight (how could it be cross threaded if it never was
out of the threads), so I penetrating oiled it, and proceeded to snap it
off, then snap off the screw extractor. Anyways, my winter project of
swing arm removal & checking spec. tolerances is now a summer project. I
am impressed at how clean & greased the swing arm innards are at 62,000km.
I think generally so far a got a GTS made on a good day. With the swing
arm off I think a trip to a machine shop is in order, especially with the
screw extractor snapped off in the bolt leftovers (yes, it's all flush
with the face of the swingarm). The aluminum in this area must be
hardened somehow (alloy or heat?).
On another note, Is there any rocket science in shock rebuilding. Instead
of shipping it to the US would a Canadian rebuilder (assuming I can find
one) be able to do the job, or is there some kind of learning curve on any
particular shock?

OB smartass...RSRBob I've got a couple of working models of AC batteries
you can have in my shop. When I hook a DC voltmeter up to them they
measure exactly 0.
