<p>Yep, that can be tricky. I managed to do it once, but the second
time I couldn't make it go and David and his team bailed me out
(on short notice, to boot).<br>

<p>I'm lucky I'm only a half-hour from BCS--they've helped me out
several times.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I second Dave Hubbard. Dave rebuilt the lower
a-arms for my Bugeye. He fit the kingpin with tight spacers
on both sides of the kingpin where there were originally
cork washers that were always gone by the time you got
around to greasing the pivot pin. This made a solid
internal space to keep the grease in place. He also
re-enforced the threaded tube for the pin and put grease
fittings on both ends for complete lubrication. He knows
his stuff!</div>

<div dir="ltr">Didn't mess with it as haven't rebuilt
one for 45 years. My Sprite gearboxes (a Smoothcase
with Ribcase internals, and a Ribcase) went to Dave
Hubbard North of LA, one of the best in the USA if not
the world and
<u>inexpensive</u>. $650 USD for the Ribcase rebuild
and that included the core! My original numbered
Smoothcase with NOS Ribcase internals was around $900
USD total complete!!!

<div>Dave only works for people he likes and that come
highly recommended, so don't ask.

<div>BN1 and a BN2 to Eric Grunden of Absolutely

every penny! $5K+ for each. Both are like new
with a lot of NOS parts!</div>

I did it last year (gearbox + OD). There are lots
of helpful videos on <br>
the 'net, esp. Magnus Karlsson's:<br>

Plus, a lot of people on this list and various
forums were helpful as <br>
well. For the most part, there are no 'special
tools' required (mostly, <br>
just a selection of big hammers ;).<br>
<br>
There are a few gotchas, if you endeavor to
undertake this, I would be <br>
glad to fill you in on what I learned (the hard ways
;)).<br>
