Unless you are lucky to have aftermarket shafts with a BSF thread I bought a tool off RGM recently and had to tell Roger his thread was wrong. He then told me about the 80's aftermarket replacements with the wrong thread. I dont recall who it was except they were based in Devon UK.Then you are screwing up threads as the footrest stud is 5/16" BSW/UNF and the rocker spindle is 5/16" BSC :roll:

I've only ever had 2 kinds -J. M. Leadbeater said:Anyway as the Commando end plates often fail to stop the shafts rotating the spindles are often loose to start with!! ... You do check they fit correctly dont you?
Yes, I recall the name now. Anyway I now have an extractor tool with thread suitable for those shafts :wink:That would have been Les Harris then. He had a habit of making things with the wrong threads/hole centres/bearing sizes, etc. Once he'd sold the parts, he'd deny that they'd come from him and refuse to give any money back...

I was fed up with the tool with soft threads
Does anybody know how long the rocker spindle is?
5/16 - 26 indeed.
Use decent steel because the threads are subjected to a lot of force when extracting the rocker spindles.
60 mm
