[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 107800, member: 1632"] I was lucky when I replaced mine a few years back, one of our section members had made up a set of gauges to insure all the spindles he replaced were set to the same height. He let me borrow them. Check to see if someone in your section has done this. Also a heat gun is a real boon to the job. Warms the cases gently and locally to get spindles in and out. I also chilled the spindles in the freezer for a couple of days before installing. One spindle was a tight sliding fit. Loctite bearing lock can be your friend. I cleaned both the hole and spindle thoroughly with acetone, applied a generous smear on both and installed. Checked the next day and it was rock solid. Steven [/QUOTE]
