Hi,
After 4 years of hard use on my 714, I have play in my main pivot and the rear chainstay/seatstay bush.

Anyone have any advice/done this before and have any advice/tips?

I will probably renew all of the 6 pivot bearings and the 2 bushes if I can get the old ones out.

Are there any left-hand-threads on any of the capscrews?
Do the main pivot screws come out easily?

HELP!

Hey. I've serviced a few of those frames, the bearings are mostly straight forward to replace except for the upper rear triangle which on the frames I've serviced had an odd shaped / unflat housing.

If you send me an email I will help out.
