I know I should of been on here earlier but I have been a bit busy.
So this is how I do it.
1 Use the compressor as one should but you will find the when you do the ball will lift out of the cup but not quite enough.  So turn down the tee handle another turn and hope that it does not pop out of the rubber doughnut. Turn it down another turn and remove the bump stop it helps.
2 Get a big bar and put it behind the ball and give it a push , hope the the ball pops out of the cup, if it does go to 3. if not try again.
3. The trumpet should now fall out of the tunnel. Knock the knuckle out of the trumpet with a punch. I put the trumpet in the top of an axle stand after removing the bit that moves up and down. The reason why I do that is the collar around the top of the trumpet has a habit of breaking off if you do not take care. I have loads of broken trumpets just waiting for the price of the aluminum to go up.
4. Make sure the hole in the trumpet that the old knuckle came out off will fit the new one. You may have to file this out but it should fit easy.
5 Get the plastic cup out of the hole. I use an old screw driver and a hammer, once it is out I use one of those cable things that go on a drill with a little stone ball on the end to clean out the hole.
6. I then put the new knuckle joint into the nice clean hole. I even give it a tap with a hammer.
7. Put the trumpet back into the tunnel and over the knuckle joint. Then jack up the bottom arm forcing the knuckle joint into the trumpet.
8 Then undo the special tool and lower the jack but only after refitting the bump stop

So a quick refresh first try and understand my instructions and then let me know what I was taking about.

Terry. Where was the "beat the c**p out of it with a big hammer" that I witnessed, when you were removing one of mine?!

If I knew what I was talking about, I'd be able to tell you what part it was that was being beaten! Thinking about it, it might have been point 6.

Whatever, it worked.

ps. Thanks again for doing them both, Terry.

pps. How did those two asterisks get there? I used letters "r" & "a"?!

"beat the c**p out of it with a big hammer"

that normally sorts most things out, if it doesnt its quickly followed by "wheres the f**king angle grinder"

I managed to fit mine eventually but have now read that there should be a small washer between the cone and knuckle joint on post 1990 models. Doesn't seem to have made much difference to ride height, but at least the squeaking has stopped.
