Parts arrived today.
Drivers side got a new o-ring on the lower pin and back in. Top pin got new railko bush washer and 1mm of shims under plate to try and set load on lower bearing. Steering felt tight and that's all I can go on instead of spring test 12-14lb on the bench as per manual. Pulled top pin plate off and set it at 1.6mm of shims. Steering feels a bit softer now and I am happy.
Tomorrow I will reset the big swivel ball seal, torque top and lower plate bolts, refill oil, set brake preload and put a wheel on.
Next will be the other side and work out if I am keeping / gutting / or replacing to stock the freewheeling hubs. As they have been making funny noises.
