[QUOTE="oexing, post: 176622, member: 1493"] But even with these washers I cannot see how they can keep grease off the friction discs. Still I think they are quite useless and can compromise setting the fork up. Myself, no troubles from grease, I do not run girders with greasing required, all IGUS bushes and discs no lube with them. O-rings may help, with correct thickness in there, but a high pressure grease gun will overcome o-rings. Vic P.S. Sorry got it wrong at first. You meant to centralize the friction discs by o-rings ? Still I think nothing in there would help much, stopping grease, just keeping the friction discs for not messing up setting the bolts later. There must be modern plastics around for replacing bronce bushes, so no grease required, in UK or US as well. Easy to machine and ream, cheap to get in rounds, ready made metric top hat bushes less useful here. [/QUOTE]
