j_jza80 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's shouldn't be too difficult, I've refurbed UK rears before and it was straight forward enough (a little fiddly though) I'd offer to help if you were nearer, unless you're willing to travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
