lever action shock rebuild
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 7:20 pm
If I missed the post in my search, I apologize. I think there was info in the previous forum.
It's the off season, and was looking to rebuild the lever-action shocks for my restore. I have them off the vehicle and in my basement workshop. I am really worried about snapping the screw heads for the cover plate off. Not able to get a good bite. How cautious should I be with heat? Really want to avoid drilling them out.
I found some info on jalopy journal, but info on rebuilding these things is scarce. Any experience out there to share? This is for a 1949 KB-3.
