Leaf springs removed and under inspection After removing the front and rear leaf springs it was time for inspection. As expected all spring eyes was worn. Not beyond possibility to repair but they need action. The medicine here is to drill them up and find a suitable bushings. New bolts are also ne...

This discussion is very interesting and learning for a beginner as myself. I first though that the front road springs of my SV were too flat. BUT after a lot of cleaning and some "exercise", like bending and jumping on the springs (funny and adventurous experiment for an old man), the spri...

Rear bearing measures confuses me Well, after dismantling the rear hubs and bearings some unexpected problems turned up. When I measured the bearings it gives this result: 40x80x18 mm. http://vintagemorris.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/bakhjulslager-40x80x18.jpg But the tap on the rear axle measured ...

In order to get the front part of the car more “spacy” the terrible homemade radiator surrounding was removed together with the radiator it self. Since the original surrounding has a totaly different form (see figure) it was necessary to reshape the hood plates. So, why not do it “on the spot”! http...

Ian, thank you for clarifying the subject. I asked because I detected a noticeable gap in the front eye when dismantling the front springs (I had not dismantled the rear springs yet) and I would like to instruct the workshop the measurement requirements. I measured in the most worn part of the eye a...

I have just detected the same problem. Does anyone know the tolerance and gap pin/eye?

Inner bearing front hub 25x52x15 mm has number SKF 6205-2RS. You can surely find a dealer via Google. Just type SKF 6205

Thanks Ian, the king pin problem is history. A firm hit with a BIG hammer did the job!

How do you remove the king pins (SV)? I assume they are to be pressed out from upside …
