Title: forks (again )
Post by: ratty67vw on April 17, 2012, 03:51 AM
 
 i did a little bit of experimenting today with the old front forks off my meteor-lite .the steering tube was bent on them .
 i remember seeing some where on here that  the steering tube can be removed by removeing the weld on the bottom of the tube .
 i stuck the forks in a vice and got a taperd drill bit and drilled the bottom of the steering tube then got me big hammer and a punch and knocked it out
