Yes i have done it. It is quite simple

undo the nut from the top of the shaft that holds the nose wheel fork

remove the fork and all the washers, spacers etc, THE PIN,  and in the kit

you will find the small steel ring about 1.5mm thick that will slide

onto the shaft of the nose wheel fork, slide the whole thing

back into gear leg without anything else on there, just the small ring from

the kit

then put the big ring from the kit on top of the gear leg and a couple of

washers on top of the ring

then a half inch nut, there SHOULD be a gap under the washers. tighten up

the nut until the

flat plates on the top of the nose wheel and the bottom of the gear leg

touch. This should have the

small steel ring inside the bottom of the gear leg. Then remove the nut and

washers, remove the

nose wheel and the two steel rings (which you no longer need), At this point

the inner sleve

may be sticking up out the top of the gear leg, if so, cut/file it off till

it's nice and flush.

put the whole thing back together but this time put the rubber o-ring on top

of the shimmy plate, so

when you slide the nose wheel back into the leg it will be inside the bottom

of the gear leg (where the small steel ring was)

then put the washers (new bigger ones from the kit) plus 4 of the old ones

on the top with your Castelated Nut (the one with the slots cut in it)

on and re-set the tension as per the manual



Just so you know, My gear leg already had space for the o-ring in the

bottom, so maybe you can just fit the o-ring.



hope this helps you, sorry i dont have any pictures, I did it as part of the

build and it took about 30 seconds



regards



craig
