Morning all.
I was just reading a post from a new member who commented on having just the Haynes manual for reference.
Generally I have found it good but I got to thinking of small things they may have missed.
When I got my first A10 as a rusty basket case many years ago, the frame and wheels had been sitting uncovered outside for quite some time.
When taking the front end to pieces ,the steering damper knob was seized.As this was the first thing to remove I tried just a little too much force and it snapped ,only to reveal a little brass pin that held the knob on the shaft.
I,m not expecting the Haynes to have known this but it was not mentioned so I broke the knob.
I have seen after market ones since that didn't have a pin but just incase someone reading this has a siezed damper and has used up 3 tins of WD40 to no avail ,have a look for that pin! nOnce it is removed, the rest will hopefully tap through the steering head.
I hope this may be of help to someone.
Cheers. Mark.
