Message: [QUOTE="MADisher, post: 126946, member: 18252"] 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 :( -MD [/QUOTE]
