lee harris Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 big hex head screw at the bottom Use an air gun or it wont work. if you have no airgun, loosen the screw when forks are in the bike and weight is on it....otherwise itb wont work....

furse Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 When you get them apart, you could weld a M10 rod coupler (long nut) on the top of the dampner. This will allow you to hold the dampner tight when you tighten and then undo in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solvent3 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 thanks for the help guys, managed to get them appart to get to the seals. couple more questions, 1) is the rebound adjustable on these forks? spent the other weekend pogo-ing from rock to rock! 2) seals are odd in each leg eg. one leg has a small and a large seal, other leg 2 large seals? is this correct? also does anyone have a exploded diagram of these forks? thanks When you get them apart, you could weld a M10 rod coupler (long nut) on the top of the dampner. This will allow you to hold the dampner tight when you tighten and then undo in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
