Well its ended in tears…
So I follow the various guides and found I could not remove the compression rod nut at the bottom of the left leg, it just spun around.
I had to re-essemble and re-inflate the fork to 125psi then remove the nut. (I was pooping myself while doing this!) First hurdle dealt with.
Then when attempting to remove the wiper seals there is a hidden spring ring that nobody mentions, so that’s now bolloxed and crushed. Darn it.
Re-inserting the stanchions into the lower legs and moving them they feel OK, but moving the compression rod up and down feels a bit sticky.
So I attempt to remove the 2mm bolt at the top of the right leg to get the compression assembly, it rounds off immediately.!!! I’m not heavy handed at all, it must be just a cheap arsed bolt.
I’m so annoyed.. Gonna be a sent to TF tuned now as if anything else goes wrong I’ll end up throwing them through the window in a rage.. 👿
So much for giving it a go myself.. 😳
I failed.. 😥
