i cant get the spindle back in on my 748s - any tips / is it just whack witha mallet?

[Nigel C]

wedge a flat blade screwdriver into the gap on the bottom of the fork leg tap in gently one each side should make it easier to slide in the spindle

[andyb]

When its refitted make sure you only tighten the mounting bolts to the correct torque!..........it may well be oval from overtightening...thats why its difficuly to fit?

[nathanhu]

make sure it fits without the wheel first,
youll see then if it oval or not

[loverobot]

that was hard
wiggling witha long handle did the trick though
what torque for the clamp and the spindle bolts please?

[Lightning Boy]

Axle Nut is 63 Nm and the Axle clamp bolts are 19 Nm

[loverobot]

thanks a lot
the feker was just not going in so i had resorted to the mallet!
anyway sorted now
