Title: Vibration damper problem Post by: WOLFENSTEIN on January 08, 2010, 09:52:23 AM I am going to powder coat original rearsets on M696, they are down, but I have a problem with Vibration damper, how can I pull it out? Does anyone know how to do that?

The aftermarket rearsets with rubber dampers (not many) come with them installed, not reused from stock rearsets. My guess is that they do it like that because it is difficult/impossible to get the stock rubbers out. Are you sure they won't survive powder coating?

getting them back in might be a bit interesting, just lube them up nice and see what happens Title: Re: Vibration damper problem Post by: RetroSBK on January 08, 2010, 02:55:03 PM You need a shouldered pin and do it in a press, OR, you can cheat it, and just put a bolt, nut and a washer on each side that fits the OD of the opening... So it seals the powder out and keeps the rubber bits in shape..
YES, they will get VERY soft during the heat cycle, no, they wont melt, and when it cools, it should be fine... Good luck Title: Re: Vibration damper problem Post by: WOLFENSTEIN on January 12, 2010, 09:16:44 AM You need a shouldered pin and do it in a press, OR, you can cheat it, and just put a bolt, nut and a washer on each side that fits the OD of the opening...
