OK, progress so far:
Both forks off and guts removed!
[smg id=1220]
Noticed the right fork damper rod was missing the very small spring at the bottom, or to put that another way, the left fork had an extra spring. Can't see what on earth it does. Was a bit surprised how short the springs were
Damper rod removal system.
[smg id=1221]
Old oil, still got a strong red tinge so suggests it's been changed some when in the not too far past.
[smg id=1222]
Both forks jammed - hurrah. However after removing the damper rod they freed straight up, so a bit of care on reassembly and all should be good.
Right, time to drill the rods and chop the spacer tube.
Cheers,
Rob
