Hello all,
I just rebuilt my dubonett knee action suspension with bronze bushings and new gaskets. I have been trying to figure out how to get the backing plate back on. I have the head unit attached with the king pins and steering all connected. On the head I have the main cap on holding in the big main spring and I just removed the large center screw that applies pressure to the big spring in hopes in would relieve enough tension that I could get the arm to come back and up getting the spindle closer to the backing plate to mount the tire. (My apologies, thats a lot to wrap your head around)
It's just with that big spring in there how else are you supposed to get the back plate on? I guess I could undo the brake line on the backing plate and do it that way, but then I'd have to attach them all and bleed the brakes. There's gotta be a better way.
If you have any tips or tricks for this that would help me out A LOT.
