Monark headset loose

[Judson]

Hi guys, the headset is loose on my Monark, can anyone tell me how tighten it up and what I might need in parts, I'm assuming bearings maybe but anything else? cheers...

Its hard to tell without looking at the parts. You might get away with pulling the stem
out and then that top nut. Lift up the top of the springer and turn the race a little
clock wise. If you have never taken it apart, it probably needs the bearings greased, so pull
it apart and you can check them while they are apart. May just need a little grease and then
tightened a little more.

Thank you, thats a good start!

Sorted, took it all apart and regreased the bearings, then shimmed it up with a few VW bus alternator shims. Perfect fit on the stem if you're interested!

Its always nice to get a problem fixed. Glad you have it going.
