Hi all out there - in the process of replacing fork seals - only can't seem to get them apart!! I have removed the top damper, removed the long spring, also removed the clip holding the dust seal and also the dust seal itself, but that;s it. Can someone please tell me how to remove the actual fork tube? Thanks.

Lemme guess, you had to use a 24" extention T-handle type wrench with a small socket on the end?

mandark1967, that will not work... there isn't a nut or bolt at the bottom of the shocks. The only way that I can see that they would come apart is to take off a "nut" at the top of the inner sleeve, but I don't really know what kind of tool I would need to get the "nut" off. It looks like I would need some kind of large allen wrench.
