Maybe it is easy enough to bodge. It is certainly an easy job to do with the right tools.
Are there special tools for the rear triangle hinge? Thought it was just a case of pushing the bushings in and the spindle through then bolting together?
There’s another local place that might be able to do it but it’s been a while since they used the pin tool so weren’t too sure and I forgot to check they can do the seattube insert.
It’s probably going to be easier to just send it to sjs.
Unless I could buy the tool off the other place for a decent price…

I have done hinges on three Bs of mine/ my family so far, so I am running about even on cost doing it at home vs. bike shop. The next B refurb should put me in profit.
