Hello guys, I have a 97 LX 450 that is leaking from the front wheel. I’ve been keeping the middle pumpkin filled with fluid to try and stay off any damage because I cannot find a mechanic that will rebuild the knuckles in Massachusetts. Any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone has a suggestion I’m in the Boston, area.
Need a knuckle rebuild on my 80 in Boston mass can’t find a mechanic

Why not do it yourself? Not a hard job and lots of good YouTube videos on it. Mostly hand tools and the specialty tools can be borrowed from an auto parts store. Save yourself a couple grand and do it yourself!
Buying the tools you'll need will cost you less than the mechanic's labor. Plus, you'll keep the tools and the learnt knowledge when you're done !

I know that’s the answer guys but honestly, it’s just not in the cards right now so the answer is no nobody. I can trust to do this job around New England? There’s a guy in New Hampshire that has older rigs. Maybe I’ll try him.
Not close but very knowledgeable is OTRAMM. I believe there is someone closer but cannot remember the name right now.
@STFU is in your area and has posted before about having a shop. Maybe reach out to him and see what openings he may have.

Now that I’m retired I could help you out. It would be 3 weeks before I could do it as I’m leaving for 2 weeks on Sat.

Rick: are you taking consistent work these days? Line maintenance, etc.?
Really have no idea.
Not as of yet.
Copy. Thanks. I’d recommend you in the BOS area. But I know that doing line MX might not be in your interest considering factors.
Come to NJ and I will tackle it for you along with any other maintenance you may need.
THanks, I do offer that type of service. Fairly booked up right now, but will PM Joe and see if he still needs some help.
