What size of C spanner?
Does anyone know offhand what size of C spanner you need, when removing the steering stem adjuster nut?
And any other specific tools I'll need for removing the forks? |

Re: What size of C spanner?
Phone your local Suzuki stealer to get the size then source it locally. Got mine from the stealers and I forgot the vaseline (T'was v expensive for a sh1te piece of metal but was in a rush to get the job started!).

Re: What size of C spanner?
I can never get mine tight enough with a drift. Eternally clunking. You'd think a c-clamp was the holy grail over here, I could forge one easier than buying one.

Re: What size of C spanner?
I've misunderstood here, thought you were on about the socket to undo the top bolt. Sorry.
Er you can get an adjuster tight enough with a drift to completely f##k the bearings, I'd guess your clunk is from elsewhere.

Tried the local tool shop today but they don't have c spanners, so I think I'll just look for an adjustable one online |
