Hi to you all!

I wonder if anyone can help me with a problem I have in replacing the steering head bearings? I'm a little confused by a difference between the parts list and the service manual? The service manual talk of a washer and also a "rubber gasket ", on the base of the steering head. I cannot see a part number listed or drawing for the "rubber gasket" on the parts list manual? Can anyone confirm if there is a rubber gasket & if so, what the part number is for this item? I'd really appreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary,
Yes I see what you mean about the manual/parts diagram ambiguity. In the manual, the picture just down the page from where it describes the 'rubber gasket', it does appear that there is a dust seal fitted below the washer. I reckon they must mean this. Maybe they either missed it off the exploded diagram/parts list, or possibly started fitting one after that document had been produced?
I replaced my head bearings a while ago, you can see the rubber edge of what appears to be a dust seal fitted underneath the rusty knackered bearing... I used taper rollers which came with the dust seals included so didn't notice the omission from the Morini diagram.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your time on this. I've already bought in the ball rollers so I'm committed on that score. At least I know it actually exists now. I've joined the Corsa Corta forum in the hope that someone at the factory picks up on my enquiry? We'll have to see how that goes.

Cheers

Hi Gary
Found this http://www.gyger-calvo.ch/Bilder/Morini ... 0-2008.pdf
Appears to be an updated parts list. It has missing item included!
