Front Forks

After my ordeal with the rear suspension, I started the task of stripping and inspecting the front forks. The forks had already been removed from the bike during the initial teardown. However, it was time to take things a little further.

The first task was to remove the chrome oil seal holders. For this a special tool is required. I have heard of people using all manner of implements to try and perform this task, however, these were extremely tight and I would recommend purchasing the special wrench.

Once the oil seal holders are off, it is a simple job to remove the stanchions and get to the bushes.

 A few cir-clips later and the whole front suspension is ready for cleaning and new bushes.
