    Replacing Steering Shaft Joints

    Am in the process of replacing these two joints on the steering shaft. After loosening the nuts, they appeared to be pressed in and had to use a hammer to remove. When replacing them, what have others done to get the joints pressed back in? I don't think you can just use the nut to tighten and...

    Check Headlights Via Diagnostics Mode?

    Is it possible to test headlights via the diagnostics mode without having to fire up the sled?

    Yamaha Chain Case Top Gear 36mm Socket

    Thought I would pass along this information in case it benefits someone else. After searching for some time for a 36mm socket that was deep enough for it to pass the jack shaft and tighten the nut, I wasn't having any luck. I thought there used to be a tool that someone sold that not only...
