Dropped a bearing in the rock lobster :cry:

Driving over 5 mph feels like I'm sitting ontop of an Ann summers party :(

I have a standard box to keep me tied over, how hard are they to strip? It needs the spedo sorting too, as no drive from the t box end.

Oh dear Henry not good! They are pretty simple really, just follow the rocklobster guide in the DIY section and you shouldn't have any issues. Just hope you haven't damaged any gears.

Its still drivable, but left it in the pub car park for tonight.

Fingers crossed, I'm guessing the vibration is a bearing? :er:

I vote car park as well... it's a been done a few times before ;)

Last time I was at CORE and met scott and parrot, the zook was fine on saturday... until I got to the petrol station, and washed all the brakes out.
Must've taken the brakes apart when I did it!

Had to go and get some new shoes and pads on a sunday morning, then put them in across the road from the shop in the somerfield car park... axle stands, jacks, the lot ;)
