Apparently, this monkey aint figuring it out.
I was under the impression swaping out fork springs was easy :( Jeff said a monkey could do it.
Man I'm strugglin.
Do I need to take the forks off the bike ? Looking at the service manual is simply says:
-Raise the front wheel (have stand for that)
-Pull the top caps (This is impossible, I've unscrewed em but they don't come out, I've compress the fork a bit but am looking at stuff I dun know what it is.)
- Put in the 'optional' springs
- Adjust the oil level
OK, So the manual shows this fork spring holder tool. Jeff apparently forgot to send instructions cause all I got was the springs, a reciept and a piece of pvc tubing.
I am lost.
a) do I need to remove the forks.
b) do I just take em off and 'service' them ?
if so what oil shall I use ? Wouldn't I want some seals for that ?
:think and I foolishly thought this was a 10 minute ordeal :(
