Working on your Ripley

Should you find it necessary to

you will need the following tools:
• 12mm open end wrench
• 15mm socket wrench
• 2 x 6mm Allen wrench
• 1 x 5mm Allen wrench
• 2 x 4mm Allen wrenches 

Bearing Replacement:

Please refer to the section on Ripley

al tool in addition to a bearing press 
in mid 2013. Complete instructions 
will be included in the next version of 
this guide.
