ACS Boa 10mm to 6mm spindle swap

<< < (2/7) > >>

Thats the fella - I've always used (after unscrewing the placcy front bit) a set of mole-grips on the front nut, then use either a small allan key/jewellers screwdriver in the holes on the back nut (failing that another mole-grip) on the rear nut. Basically hold the front of the Boa in place and unthread the rear nut  :daumenhoch:

Its not too bad a job to be fair Ed, I did it to a boa that I bought off Olly.

One thing I will add though in addition to the bearings going everywhere.....i think there are 68 bearings in a boalol, is to remember which way the seals go round on top of the bearings.

I made the mistake of getting it all back together, tightening it up only to watch the seals buckle and the bearings tried to exit from all angles lol.

Be on guard.....and keep your cool.....2 very important factors for the job lol

Another tip is don't attempt is while looking after an 18 month old, it needs full concentration first time round  "nono"
