Old Guzzi's Dont Die! / Strada Salvation,now with Video

Those big nuts would be easier to deal with if you held the ratchet at the end and got proper leverage instead of using only half of the lever

That's it MY weekend off at last.

Well I have come across a Snag...I have took the clips off the UJ so I could grease inside it but cant get the disc's out any suggestions?

Actually, not in this case.

But still - nice try.

Go full bodge mode on it... drill a hole in it and inject the grease using a syringe. Then tap some threads in the hole and seal it with a small grub screw and some loctite


P.S this is probably a stupid idea.

why would you strip a brand new UJ?

it will be grease packed from the factory.

[CHR15]

but still, if theres no noticeable play or roughness, why go to the trouble of stripping if your not going to replace the rollers or cups?

Must be working to the "if it ain't broke, fix it til it is" maxim.

It's probably a reasonable precaution given the amount of damage the old one did when it failed.

[nerald]

Interesting project. Keep it up.

FWIW at lunchtime I was at MT Motorcycles* near Doncaster. They're bike breakers. I was picking up a bit for the lad's bike.

I happened to see at least a couple of boxes on the rack marked up as Moto Guzzi bits. So if you're stuck for 2nd hand parts maybe give them a call. No guarantees they'll have it but if you don't ask you certainly don't get.

Best of luck with the rebuild.

HTH


* don't go by website parts, I just generally give them a call (tel: 01302 391122) and ask. I've used them and found them reasonable for prices (others may disagree) but then I can just nip down the road to collect for cash. They are on eBay as well.

You have made sure that every other casing measurement compares favourably , haven't you?

If it's just the bearing that's different, get in touch with a pattern bearing supplier and see if they can sell you something to match what you need.
