It was was commonly known as 'Abingdon English', prospective Morris Garage
employees had to study Richard III to get the feel for the writing style -
read it again in a kind of "A Kingdom, a Kingdom for a horse...." style and
it all may make more sense.
I'm pretty new to all this diy mechanics but I must say I have found the
easiest way with all this stuff is just to look at one of those exploded
diagrams you get with those Moss parts catalogues.
Sorry to be as much help as an ash tray on a motorbike, what do the seasoned
pros have to say?

Subject: rear dampers question.
Oh Wise Keepers of Knowledge,
I successfully removed, refilled and reinstalled my front shocks with
relatively little muss and fuss. (thanks to all who helped).
NOW....it's time for the rear.
I'm looking at my trusty, stained Bentley manual and I can't quite figure
something out.
I quote...
"Remove the nut and spring washer that secures the damper lever to the link
arm."--- Done
"Withdraw the fixing bolts from the damper body and body frame..."---done--
"and remove the damper assembly by threading the lever over the link arm
bolt"----eh? What does "threading the lever over the link arm bolt" mean?
When I turn the damper assembly while holding the link arm...the bolt just
turns in the bushing.
I must be missing something. Any advice would be great.
Thanks!!!
Don
