Hello!

I am having issues when regreasing my thru shaft on my fuel ex 7.

I have taken the bolt and 2x washers out but I can't get the washers back in. I am pretty sure the washers sit between the main down tube and the rear arms (rather than sitting directly against the nut/bolt) but there doesn't seem to be enough space for the 2 of them?! It seems tight by a couple of mm and I can't shift it to get it in!

Has anyone had this problem ot can give a trick to fitting them both in?

Thanks in advance

I could have explained that a lot better... the rocker pivot is the one I am having trouble with.

It goes

Bolt | rocker | washer | frame | washer | rocker | nut

I cant get one washer in, the other one.

Any adive? Thanks

Sorted. In case anyone else has this problem, you can slip the washer in from the rear wheel side... I had to pull the rocker from the frame the give it a tap with a screwdriver/Hammer (gently).

Was a pig but all done.
