thanks for giving me the update on the switch housing – its always good to know if someone has been through the same problems and what happened, before I just chew mine up.

I guess its a case of leaving it, polishing it up, and masking it off for spray, not ideal, but better than having it damaged I guess.

ive now got the column out – so will update the post accordingly, thanks for the tips.

Hi JD, the switch housing is pressed on, but you will struggle to remove it, I failed removing mine even with a little applied heat and there is no where you can get good purchase on the grip to pull or it off without risking damage.

If it’s the headset bolt you are referring to, it needs a flat washer at either end plus a spring washer at the nut end, have fun!
