1. What is the proper tool for removing the large flutted nut on the tubular pin whihc holds the lower leg to the upper leg?
I think it's called a spanner wrench, but, like Lynn said, a punch works fine.
2. What is the best way to remove the pin from the assembly without damaging the thread?
Brass hammer or drift or hardwood
3. What parts normally need to be replaced to solve the shimmy problem?
The 2 side washers and the bushing on the pin. There is a kit that includes them, nuts and lock washers, and Alon style grease fittings.
4. I am using the cup and the o-ring on the shock, but last time I put the cups on I had
a heck of a problem getting them into the shock tube. What is the best way to get the cup into the
shock tube.
Pick one or the other. They are not both compatible with any one fluid.
5. When does one need to replace the large hollow pin due to age and are they easily available?
They are expensive. You shouldn't need to replace it unless the bushing failed 1000 hours ago...
