Can you take the forks apart easy?

Crispin · Nov 29, 2008

Is it a complicated (or even possible) process to disassemble the cast aluminium component that hold the axle on the front forks (sorry I don't know their technical name?)

I note they have a black plastic insert on the underside which corresponds with the end of the fork.

Thanks

Hey Crispin, you need to dis-assemble your forks completely & once you have top & bottom apart they just screw off. There are holes in the top of the inner tube to put a screwdriver through & clasp the axle clamp end in a vice. Use soft grips when re-assembling the new ones & a tight fit screwdriver in the holes atop the inner tube.( also helpful to have another person as they can be tight to undo )

If I can do it you can. let us know how you go :wink:
