Has anyone done this? I've taken headshoxs apart before and now my 2009 pbr lefty max feels like it could use some TLC. I haven't managed to find anything useful on the net, beyond the normal reset the bearings (easy), so here I am, humbling requesting your help... or at least not too many snide comments?

depends on what you mean about taking them apart? if it's a cartridge service then it's relatively straight forward providing you have the correct castle tools.

Rebuilding the bearings is a bit more involved, generally I've sent mine away to be sorted. Tony at Thumbrint tuning or TFTunedshox is a good bet.

Not the place you might expect to find it, but this is a good step-by-step guide.

I've actually got a lefty castle tool sat in my tool box I think. You can borrow it if you like, providing you pay postage.

thanks guys, some good stuff there. and thanks for the offer of the tool lovewookie, I think I can rustle one up here... for my sins(?) I actually live in france and "la poste" is on strike as often as it's working, so posting things can be a bit iffy...
