After replaceing drum after bearing change i find the suspension taps ,so i enlarge the gap between the rubbers at the top.Any advice on what others do
Re: wma
Can you explain in more detail, which gap do you enlarge and how do you enlarge it?
Do you mean the rubber joints at the top of the suspension unit that the peg goes through?
Can you say where on this picture you are enlarging the gap. 😕

Re: wma
If the suspension pivot pegs are difficult to tap in then they are usually very worn. The wear can be felt as a ridge where the insulating rubber grommet at the end of the suspension strut normally sits. The only answer is new pivot pegs. One thing I’ve found over the years is that if a component that came off a machine needs to be modified to refit it; then it is either knacked – or something is causing it not to fit.
Trying to bash in ridged pivots will usually end in disaster……. 😥HTH,
Steve.
Re: wma
Yes the top ,where the peg goes through.As this is located to the drum there is allways movement back and forward,causing the tap.Opening the top slightly removes the gap and stops the tap.I do one wma bearing change a day and allways find this problem .
Re: wma
I have done countless WMA changes, I always use two new pegs, had a couple of old pegs come loose years ago, none since.

Re: wma
I always loop a a small cable tie behind the tab, saves a recall bit of a bugger for anybody who follows later on.
