I'm not trying to be a jerk, or harass you, HM. I guess it is either the German heritage in me, or the aircraft mechanic training. Regardless, I believe there is a correct/approved procedure and every other way. That is not to say that other procedures are wrong. Knowing the proper procedure, or the theory behind it, makes it easier for people to make educated decisions. In this case, I don't think it makes it more complicated to use the correct procedure, and it may yield better results.
I also believe that the value of this forum is increased when the quality of the information posted is improved. Most of the members are new to motorcycles (myself included), many have never had any training or done any mechanical work. The knowledge we pass along may have a lasting effect on the members, long after they have moved on. Maybe I should have been a teacher...
I am a teacher. an avaition teacher. lol
but seriously your are completely right. miss information has a tendancey to continue to compound an issue.
