Carc swingarm spindle locking ring

[gogboy]

Special tool for setting the carc spindle locking ring.
Guzzi recommend setting at 10 nm but it requires a special tool.
Easy homemade one can be made using a cheap 30mm socket and an angle grinder and a bit of filing.
Mine is a bit function over form but does the job. Socket cost me £4-80. I know people will say, "do it by feel" but I always think if manufacturers give torque values, they do so for a reason.

Did you overhaul the bearings in the knuckle and yoke. Mine were an advisory on the last MOT.

Forgot to add, I replaced all the bearings and seals in the knuckle and also fitted new swing arm bearings. Copious amounts of grease of course!!!!!
