Hi Gents… Another dopey question so please bear with!
I'm overhauling the front forks. I've removed the dust seal and retainer with no trouble. But removing the 6mm "socket bolt" is a different story, rather than being able to remove it to facilitate removal of the "fork pipe" the bolt just loosened and spins. This is the same for both fork legs.
I've drained them of oil and removed the spring… Could this be the issue? Should I have left springs in until the 6mm allen bolt was removed?
Anyoldhow I'm a bit flummoxed, any help would be much appreciated?
On the other hand… spent the day grinding bits and bats off the frame, unwanted lugs etc. That went really well! So off the Barnsley next week to get the seat hoop welded and then off for stripping and powder coating the frame and ancillaries…
Many thanks
Liam
