Hi
Had a leaky fork seal,so began stripping the front end and one of the axle crimp bolts just rounded off, so tried a torx head tapped in and it just rounded off,so got the stud extractor kit out and snapped one,so got the drill out and the hss bit went off at an angle and damaged the area around the thread so I needed a new leg with calliper mount but they come as a complete unit at a cost of £314 and it’s always best to get a pair so that’s £628 plus 2 set of seals plus 2 sets of dust seals plus 2 lots of oil ........so £700 later plus a 100 mile trip in the car I’m now fitting a new oem front end.
I’m just giving away the bits cause I can’t be arssed with putting it up for sale,maybe I’ll get some karma points

Hi
Definitely,mines a 2015 and has had the wheel off a year ago for a tyre change so it shouldn’t have seized,my concern would be if I was stuck in the alps and need to fix a puncture ,so before my next trip I’m copper slipping anything that might need to come off.
Cheers Paddy
