Frozen Elka

[markk]

I bought a set of elkas, And now that they are about one year old, One of my front shocks the tension nut is siezed tight, and i cant hardley move it with two adjustment tools. I meen after every wash i tried to spray some PB Blaster on both the Nut, and the Adjustment screws. Does anyone know what i can do about this. It doesnt sound all that bad, Except my quad is sorta sitting a little tall. and i just cant adjust it! I apprecieate any help thanks markk

So is it the preload ring thats stuck of the locking set screws?

[markk]

It was the pre-load ring, Actully the Elkas where from the quadshop! Do u think that i would be able to order a new ring, and cut that one off, or should i send them into elka?? or ???

vice worked for me, worst thing that happens is they will get a lil scraped...

No secerets, I know I can get them off one way or another. Worst case the rings would need to be replaced but they are inexpensive.

Alright, Well Jeff, Im gona try that guys idea with a vise first, And if i cant get it to loosen up. I guess it wont hurt riding out the rest of the season like this It been like this since before loretta Lynns. And if i dont have it done by the time the Ironman comes around, Il drop them off to u then! Thanks for the help guys!
