Tristan Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi, im servicing my 315 showa forks. I have removed the various parts and now need the special tool to split the upper and lower tubes. I've searched the honda part number for the special tool but it is discontinued. Can anyone point me in the direction to a tool that will do the job, or if not I'm thinking a nut welded onto a piece of bar. Tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 What do you mean split upper and lower tubes? Undo the dust caps and security rings of the oil seals. Unscrew the piston at the bottom and get all lose parts out from the top. And them pull them **** them apart?! You'll need a few harder ones... I have a Paoli in mine but the system should be the same?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Leave the forks on the bike and use a tie down to put pressure on the spring and remove the bolt. Having an air gun or electric makes it much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I did combine a series of tools in the garage and cobbled a holding tool together, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
