Tools you will need:
6mm Allen wrench
5mm Allen wrench
(2) 17mm open end wrenches
15/16 low socket
Plastic bucket
Ratio Rite cup that has ml and cc's
Fork syphen or suringe
20wt synthetic fork oil I use Torco products
You can also use 80wt Belray Gear Oil with anti shear additive this has the same consistancy as 20wt fork oil and has anti shear added.
*** I also use a Battery powered impack Gun....Cause I can!
Here we Go:
(1) Start off by removing only one of your fork legs at a time This because some may get confused and I like to allow for proper Fork height allignment when Reinstalling.
(2) with Fork Leg Removed and in a Vertical position:
(3) Remove the top cap with a 15/16 standard short socket Carefully "while its still verticle. with this done and the top cap off slowly pull the cap up till about 6 inches of the spring is visable and let gravity drain into a plastic bucket. I like to pour camping fuel in mine(white gas) and flush them out a couple of times gets all the containments out that might cling inside. Then I let them hang for a While otherwise you don't know how much residual oil is left inside:
(4) after a few minutes take a clean rag and wipe the (2) Nuts off below the cap and draw a mark on both nuts across from each other. This is to ensure that you get the correct height adjustment back to the Metering Rod (Dampening Rod) back to the correct position to where you started with.
(5) Now take the (2) 17mm wrenches and unscrew the top cap from the spring assemblely (counting the number of turns you made past the marks on the nuts) and slowly separate the assembly (making sure not to bend or damage the Dampning rod):
(6) Completely remove the rod and set it aside and (again do not drop or bend the rod) and let the rest of the Fork assembly gravity drain into the plastic bucket for 5 min or so. Now take the fork leg while over the Bucket and slowly Pump the fork tube in and out and you will notice(where the dampning rod goes in) the oil will drain out of it....and also the lower fork tube Do this many many time till no more oil comes out. ( dont worry about the spring assembly falling out as its attached to the lower leg with a allen bolt):
Ok guys got to continue this How To on Part 2. Posts only allow 4 pictures.... Hope this is clear for you and helpful
