Forks

Hi,

I am dismantling some forks. The circlip is off for the damper rod, but it won't come out. Am I missing something?

Thanks...

Mike.

Hi Mike,

I am trying to recall, but if can get a parts picture it may well help, I vaguely remember they can be tight to remove, is there a washer there under the clip that may be caught?

Cheers

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the advice. I think I may be a little too 'dainty'. I will look at the pictures, but knowing which fork might help. I think I'll do some more investigating.

Mike.

Excellent. Thank you. The damper rod should drop out, and it did on the second leg. The collar is rusted in in the first leg.
