[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1408143, member: 91752"] I resonantly did the seal, bushings, gold valve, spring, thing. Ordered all the parts, (including the lock clip and plastic rock guard, not needed), but failed to get the flat washers, (brain fart). First timer, so didn't know what to expect. Didn't want to wait a week for those, not knowing if I would damage them or not. So I heated up the top of the bottom tube, and couple of good whacks and the top tubes came out pretty easily without bending the flat washers. Disclaimer: I didn't have that pesky middle bushing to deal with, but it still helped a lot.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] Heat is your friend on this job anyway. If you don't happen to have, or are Leary of torches, a heat gun will work. It'll just take longer to heat evenly. Hope it goes smooth! [/QUOTE]
