lc -rev3 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I had this problem recently when replacing a fork seal. If you put the lower fork leg in a vice and pull on the stanchion as you're unwinding the bolt it should come out. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolts at the bottom of the forks are different sizes the larger one being the Left side I cant get out. I am starting to think that someone has stripped the thread and shoved a larger bolt in !!!

Ah, looks like they should be different sizes even though the parts manual states they are the same !!! it just needed a quick buzz with a windy gun !!.
