As per title really. Has anyone removed one of these? The default position of the loc is locked out so its not as simple as just removing the lever and cable. I can’t find anything on Google. I’m pretty handy and have no problems taking the fork apart if needs be.

Any help appreciated.

No

Ben, go forth and multiply.

I believe you can disconnect the spring, thus leaving it active as default, then replace the top cap. Google should have some video instructions.

Might as well replace the compression assembly with one of these babies if you don’t need the lockout: http://www.novyparts.com/produits-novyparts-suspensions-vtt/splug-bloc-de-compression-hydraulique/
