    Is this the sign of an upcoming Birf rebuild?

    If so how long do I have? It's my daily driver but only 10 miles/day. I probably can't get to it for another month. Thanks

    Rear axle service questions

    Hi, does anyone know what the part my finger is pointing to in enclosed pic is? (pic may be upside down) The little plastic cover fell off and I can put it back on but it's very loose. I'm afraid it's going to fall off easily if I don't do anything else and just put everything back together...

    Replacing starter contacts

    Hi, I need to replace my starter contacts. The instructions in the FAQ from George Starter Motor Contacts says to use a wooden block on the contact plate and press it down with a hand press to 221 lbf. I don't have a hand press! Can I do this without a hand press? Hope this is not a stupid...
