[QUOTE="vince998, post: 17660, member: 261"] Hi Tug, The lug will not open due to starting due to the mounting for the stand being on the bottom fork? this is more likely to be caused by trying to undo the spindle nut with a spanner:rolleyes: The weakest part here will be the hole where the chain adjuster sits. You need to strip this back and crack test. When heating & re-forming, make sure the adjuster is in as well. (otherwise you probably won´t get it in afterwards). I´ve seen it done a couple of times with no detrimental effect to the fork (although be carefull with the heat) [/QUOTE]
