[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 45935, member: 2077"] Again Bruce and I completely agree on all points, except I use a new primary gasket each time...Whatever works... On the C45 spring try to do as Bruce says and line up the tang with a slot but do not freak out if the tang does not reach the slot..Some do some do not either way the ages have proved that getting the tang in the nut and shaft slot will not guarantee that that nut will stay put...Mine backed out in 4000 miles...I added NON PERMANENT Loctite to the C20 nut just as an added measure of security the second time... That road side break down cost me a great week end trip and $$$... Depending on the extent of the oiling of your shoes it may take a few days till you can cook the oil out...I would boil the shoes in dishwashing detergent all day long adding water and soap as needed and skimming the oily crud off the top.
