help front fork take apart

Post by kenwelshons » Thu Mar 16, 2006 12:48 pm

What can I use to grab the inner key inside the fork tube to undo and tighten the allen bolt on the bottom? Does a 3/8 rachet head fit or what?

A broom handle supposedly works. I use an impact wrench. Mark

I just re-built my forks a few weeks ago, here's what I did: 1. Go down to the hardware store and buy 4 nuts that are as close to 24mm as you can find. 2. Buy about 18" of All Thread that the nuts will fit on. 3. Tighten the two nuts on each end. Force them together so there on tight. 4. Place your new "Tool" down into the forks, use a wrench to twist the tool while standing on a socket with the proper allan nut socket on it. Your forks will come apart without too much trouble.
