[Closed] Help on how to service a lefty fork

Hi,
I've just bought a cannondale Taurine with a carbon lefty fork. I'm not convinced that the previous owner has serviced the bike recently so I'm stripping everything down and replacing a few parts while I'm at it.
I've done the bearing reset as per instructions I've found on YouTube but when I was doing this noticed that the grease looks pretty grotty so I'd like to remove the internals and at a minimum clean and grease.
I'm struggling to find any guide as to how to do this. Do I just undo the large nut at the bottom where the air valve is? Anything I need to watch for? Any advice to help me avoid having 100 springs and washers on the garage floor would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. That's a great help and also enabled me to find the service manual on the cannondale website.

This should sort you out.I usually find that when looking for tech info just type pdf after it and you'll get the download files.:wink:
