[QUOTE="airblazer, post: 188403, member: 6648"] I’m tearing apart the front end of this Z50 as it is in need of major repairs. The bearings on the top and bottom of the stem seem to have gone missing long ago. The bottom of the stem looks like this: [ATTACH]67352[/ATTACH] I haven’t bent able to get the fork removed to get a closer look at the inside of the stem because this nut won’t budge: [ATTACH]67350[/ATTACH] I tapped on my spanner wrench with a rubber mallet (aka “the ask nicely”) until I wasn’t really asking nicely anymore. Tried a heat gun and PB oil and no improvement yet. According to the mircrofiche I’m dealing with two pieces, #5 and #11: [ATTACH]67353[/ATTACH] The fork itself is also twisted - the top of the left side is about an inch closer to the tank, and the opposite is true where the lowers come out. A big vice and some arm wrestling seem in the near future for that. The lowers look like they suffer from Peyronies :LOL::cautious: and one of the fork nuts came apart in two pieces once I removed the electrical tape it was wrapped in...:poop: In an attempt to gain a victory, I tried to remove the broken brake handles And cables from the handlebars. The rusty screw snapped on the left, and I’m trying to figure out how to loosen the cable so I can get it out of the slot. Does the fitting outside the ear untwist? [ATTACH]67351[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
