Message: [QUOTE="mxneagle, post: 148533, member: 21267"] Once the compression bolt is removed from the cartridge tube, the whole cartridge (damper rod and all should come out easily thru the upper fork tube. To take the upper and lower tubes apart, slide the dust seal up the fork tube and then remove the spring clip in the outer tube. Then just pull the tubes apart like a slide hammer to pull the bushing out. It may take several wraps to get it. Dont do this in a vise. Hold one tube in each hand otherwise you'll probably go for a trip. Another tip on using the air gun. Do it with the spring cap on and push down on the fork to compress the spring while using the air gun. This seats the cartridge tube into the lower fork leg and helps to prevent it from spinning.
