Yes i have done it. It is quite simple
undo the nut from the top of the shaft that holds the nose wheel fork
remove the fork and all the washers, spacers etc, THE PIN, and in the kit
you will find the small steel ring about 1.5mm thick that will slide
onto the shaft of the nose wheel fork, slide the whole thing
back into gear leg without anything else on there, just the small ring from
the kit
then put the big ring from the kit on top of the gear leg and a couple of
washers on top of the ring
then a half inch nut, there SHOULD be a gap under the washers. tighten up
the nut until the
flat plates on the top of the nose wheel and the bottom of the gear leg
touch. This should have the
small steel ring inside the bottom of the gear leg. Then remove the nut and
washers, remove the
nose wheel and the two steel rings (which you no longer need), At this point
the inner sleve
may be sticking up out the top of the gear leg, if so, cut/file it off till
it's nice and flush.
put the whole thing back together but this time put the rubber o-ring on top
of the shimmy plate, so
when you slide the nose wheel back into the leg it will be inside the bottom
of the gear leg (where the small steel ring was)
then put the washers (new bigger ones from the kit) plus 4 of the old ones
on the top with your Castelated Nut (the one with the slots cut in it)
on and re-set the tension as per the manual
Just so you know, My gear leg already had space for the o-ring in the
bottom, so maybe you can just fit the o-ring.
hope this helps you, sorry i dont have any pictures, I did it as part of the
build and it took about 30 seconds
regards
