I’m guessing that’s a bearing surface and it shouldn’t look like that (the ‘stuff’ peeling off it) and I need a new top cap assembly?

anyone?

Well and truly.

Thought so!

If you really needed to ask, then I respectfully suggest you stop taking stuff apart.

Yeah, ‘cos it’s never worth asking for a second opinion just to make sure 🙄

Onzadog, I respectively suggest that u stop being a tit!

Sorry, should have had a tongue in cheek smilie. My comment wasn’t meant to give you a hard time, more a nod to the fact that you knew it was bolloxed when you posted.

Isn’t calling someone a “tit” a bit of a “tit” thing to do? I’m not calling anyone anything, just asking a question.

Not sure it is goosed. Have you seen this video?

About 2:30 shows it.

Note, I haven’t done this myself so no first hand experience, just found this vid a few days ago while looking for something else.

It’s properly goosed. The one in the video would be replaced under a service too.
