Ok, got the new parts, see plastic bags:
First I had to find a way to take the preload adjuster apart. Couldn't get the piston out. Solved the problem with a little piece of aluminium, see above on the left. Picture down installed:
Fitted new filter oil:
Made an alu block to clamp the axle. Heated the end eye bracket and managed to take it off (just turn it ccw):
Next the adjuster wheel that needs to be replaced. Again managed to take it off, but with a little surprise.. The ring behind the rubber adjuster wheel is damaged. Part is allready en route
