Can anyone tell me how to swop the cone on my Trophy rear sphere? I have a replacement sphere unit, but it does not have the cone fitted, so I plan to put the existing one in it when I swop them over on Sunday.
Does the cone come out easily?? What is involved?
cheers

Cheers for that - I've got an air line compressor so I'll give that a go.
Is there anything that Diester doesn't know the answer to?
many thanks for that

I'll be careful. Will dig out the old foot pump - and try that instead of compressor (saves lugging compressor home from dad's garage for the day)....!
All done. The cone came out easily - in the end I put the end in the vice - not too tight - and gave it a good pull. Slipped out quite easily. I kept the air option in reserve!
The cone slipped in to the new sphere easily - I used some washing up liquid and bunged the hole with a finger and the cone slipped in to the rubber.
Putting the sphere back in was quite easy - enlisted my wife to help (real tom bay) - 4 hands always better than 2 with the top nuts & bolts!
So we've pumped it up to 355mm and taken it for a 10 mile drive. Re measured andf still 355mm. Will see what it is like in a week's time.
Thanks to all for the advice.
