You got a Svc Manual????

That is by far the EASIEST and most accurate description....

Make sure that your plumb bob is of the plastic coated type, so if it does bump into the bike (Shouldn't if done properly), it won't mar the finish...

You will need a few oversized tools to do JUST the Rocker Bearing pre-load... What a joy that is....

1 1/2" crowsfoot wrench, 1/2" Hex bit, 1/4 Dial type Torque Wrench (0-50 in/Lbs), 1/2" Torque wrench (0-100 Ft/Lbs)...
