Hello all,
I'm mid job of replacing the seals in both my forks, had the bike since november, but I've been in the gulf since Dec, so it's been put off for a while!!! it's a 54 plate fazer 1000.
Anyway, stripping down the forks and all the internals came out complete on the nearside fork ( this had been taken apart by the previous owner, who chaanged the seals before I bought it, though they are now leaking only a year later), but the other one i can't get the bottom half of the internals out of the tube, the bottom bolt that holds them in the base of the tube feels like it's just spinning. I've got 2 nuts on the end of the damper rod so i can get a socket on it and hold it still. Am I just not applying enough downward force? or do I need a specialist tool?
Any help will be much appreciated.
