SteveXFR Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I'm having some trouble working out how to disassemble my forks. The Haynes manual says to unscrew the threaded top but there isn't one. How do I remove the damper and spring? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Push the cap down into the tube and dig out the C clip, once the C clip is out the fork spring should push the cap out. 1 Quote Link to comment
Poldark Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Yes, like Tony said. You'll need a fine sharp pick to get the c-clip out. Growing a third hand may help too. The c-clip is made from thin spring wire, often get rusty, good to have replacements on hand. Quote Link to comment
Poldark Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Also... in my experience, the E models normally had the screw-in fork cap shown in the manual; the L models had the c-clip. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 that third hand is your vice, but make sure you use soft jaws 1 Quote Link to comment
