    Looks like it’s just a standard bolt through according to the spec so mighty force should shift it.Just wondering if its a weird Chinese cheese shaped object.

    If you search MTBR there’s a thread on there about a spring that i think folds around one of the shims.I’ll see if i can dig it out as it’s quite common on that damper.
    If you pm me your email addy iv’e got one of those dampers here out of a 2014 rev.I’ll hi res some pics to you so you can cross ref against yours to see if you can spot it.
    Here you go.
    You’ll see the said spring.It’s the first pic in the thread.

    Got some high res pics here for you of how it should look if you give me a buzz.
    We here in stw land will sort it out for you. 🙂

    Mat.
    That’s a gearbox problem that is.Iv’e done loads of them and there not expensive.
    If you can use a screw driver you quids in.
    1-Open door and the make of the lock will be stamped into the steel lock mech.
    2- order new gearbox  online
    3-undo the euro lock retaining screw and slide out lock by turning key slightly.
    4-undo all the screws holding on the lock mech
    5 remove and replace gearbox then put it back together
    You tube will probably help you.
    Go for it mat it’s so easy to do.

    My mistake mech is an M772.

    It really is very very easy to do but the 9 speed mech needs to be a shadow for this to work.
    Don’t worry about the spring as its not connected the the knuckle you are taking out it clips to the parallelogram itself.

    Stuff needed
    1.5mm drift
    2.0mm drill bit
    Vice
    Hammer
    1     Drill dead center with 2.0mm drill bit as you can see in the pic and just drill down until you just see a glimpse of the pins.
    Your not drilling out and material where the pins actually sit so it doesn’t effect the strength of anything.
    2     Tap pins out with 1.5mm drift(i put a 1.5mm drill bit in the vice and cracked it off just below the drill threads…ideal)
    3    They come out easier than you would expect.Take care to not loose the four rubber O rings that sit in recesses in the knuckle you are taking out.
    4    Swap over the 10 speed clutched mech and cage (with the four O rings)
    5    Refit pins but make sure you turn them trough 90 degrees so that the two barbs(on the end that you are tapping back in with the for mentioned hammer 🙂 ) have fresh ally to grip so they don’t come out.
    6    Push the pins through by hand,really easy
    7    Then i put where the drilled holes are on the edge of a vice and tapped the pins the last couple of mm so they bite in to the mech using the 1.5mm drill bit drift (sink them 1mm below the surface as this is where they should be).

    Job done..:)

    But i have lovely xrt m970 shifters Northwind with retro-ed (if that’s a word) i-spec B clamps to zees that i’m keeping.
    Mech wasn’t being used so i’ll make sure all is ok then swap the mod over to a M970 mech as i have full xtr goodness on the xc bike .I knew about that way to do it but this was the better option.

    Only joking Tom. 🙂
    I was waiting for how do you do that.
    Pull ratio is not effected as your using the parallelogram off a 9 speed mech.Check the two wee drilled holes.
    Mech is an xt m770.
    All will be revealed .lol.

    I’m in.

    In fact can we all chip in and buy a foundry and just make everything out of proper solid iron.That way we should all be safe as.
    How long does it take to wear through a set of iron cranks, just in case like. 🙂

    Ooo.Look what i have in the stand.Don’t get rid of it as they are a superb bike.Couple off offsets in it and they are hard to beat even with today’s standards.Chuck the coil Lyriks and a custom dhx5 coil on it for big stuff and away it goes.:)

    Little flat screwdriver with a bit of tape on the end.Stick it in the slot in the center and push.You’ll be amazed how easy they come out and nothing like as tight as a DU.The gap is for getting them out.

    The mistake you made was assuming that the rest of the world cares about anodised bling pedals with big pins on their bike. To a 13 yr old a bike is just what get’s them to a mates house to play call of duty or the Spar for 3l of White Lightning. If he’s really lucky he’ll pull a massive skid infont of some girls and pull one of them before graduating to a Corsa and doing handbrake turns in a few years.

    You really are a dick aren’t you thisisnotaspoon.Not everybody lives in your weird world.

    Cheers all.I forgot to put that he doesn’t ride off road much so shin pads aren’t really an option unless he want’s to look a wee bit stupid in front of his pals.
    I thought about the dmr’s kayak23 but have gone similar plastic pinned ones off the bay to see if he can cope with them first.He’s also a little bit slow on the learning level so in hindsight i cocked up giving him the nano’s.It could only end badly hence there now off the bike.

    Mrs gnusmas still struggling to comprehend the compassion shown on here

    gnusmas.
    Why don’t you put her on.I’m sure we would all love to hear from her.As has been said before that we do bicker quite a bit on here but when it comes to the crunch our motley crew seems to come good and pull out all the stops for a fellow biker who could do with a bit of help. 😀

    Worn disc of here for buttons and a mech and hands off ebay.You just need to make a plastic disc with a hole in the middle for the clock nut and six holes that will take the disc bolts.Total cost was about a tenner.
    Get to it Mosey. 😉
