I searched, but couldn't find a thread on this.
The rocker shaft moves visibly left and right when turning the wheel, I'm thinking a rebuild is in order. Studying the exploded drawing, it appears to be a fairly straightforward job. I am planning to order the rocker shaft bushing, oil seal, top cover and cover plate gaskets, several shims, and Penrite steering box oil. I remember reading that the peg in the rocker shaft can be re-used if worn by pushing it out, turning it 90 degrees and re-inserting it, can somebody confirm that?
The bearing assemblies don't seem to be available. Do they normally need replacing, and if yes, where could I order them?
How about the cam ("worm"), can I expect it to be worn?
Any special procedures that should be followed, or special tooling required?
Thanks!
