Sh*t, I didn't realize a dowel would be so important Don, thanks for the advice man,Off comes the fairing etc again then

what exactly are the dowels for Don? I assumed it was for lining up the gasket? Sorry if I sound a bit thick but I am not mechanically minded at all

Blimey I surprised myself I did it! It was a nightmare the bearings were stuck and I used the oven and freezer methods ,one of the dowels was ceased in and I had to leave one out, anyone know where I can buy a replacement dowel and also the precise bearings size ?

Hello All, I bought some new braided hoses for my 91 FZR 600 ,and went to get all the fluid out, on doing so I have realized that the screws on the front master cylinder are completely burred and I can not undo them, I wonder if anyone has any tips on how to get them out? I have ordered some new scr...
