I picked up a set of Sebacs recently that were not of the usually minibike variety. I'm assuming they might be from a moped. Can anyone confirm? They are the same length as the common minibike variety, about 13" but have a different eye casting design on each end. They are genuine Sebac brand. Was this a newer or older design than the model most of us know?
Secondly, I need help in getting them apart. The lower eye castings are NOT threaded into the tubes like most Sebacs. They are under spring tension and spin freely - NO THREADS. In the picture, you can see I compressed one by hand and exposed the internal shaft and what looks like a washer with a spacer. You also notice what looks like a nut within the cavity of the casting but not accessible. There is also what appears to be a spanner notch. There are no flats that I can see on the internal shaft when I compressed it.
Anyone care to weigh in on either the specific application these were installed on or how to take them apart for cleaning and refurb? Thx.
