When I removed mine I used a cordless Impact tool to undo the hex bolt. I did not encounter the turning problem if your is turning sounds as if it should undo with a bit of wedging.

Now thats nice, I will have to show that to the boss, but she would probably eat them herself.

Thanks for the suggestion. The spring is out so will look for a suitable piece of wood and have another go.

CB500/550 / Re: Candy Garnet Brown
« Last post by Seabeowner on May 16, 2024, 04:44:38 PM »
Decided on a close candy match (or maybe not) to the brown.
But haven't yet got the paint for the black sides.
Any suggestions appreciated for quality black aerosols for this?
Will use the SprayMax lacquer on top.

You could use them to put up some virtual shelves for ornaments that don't need to be bought Ted  ;D

Iirc a suitable sized brush stale has been used by members in the past to prevent the rotation. I believe it's inserted down the fork leg to jam the inside part. Never had to do it myself so you might find it via the search facility.

I assume you have removed the spring.

Thanks to all the tips on decarbing the valves they are all now cleaned up and shortly i will get to grinding them in on the sparkly clean head. I decided to do some work on the forks next. I read the manual (Haynes) and watched a couple of YouTube tutorials and all seemed fairly straightforward. I followed the steps draining the oil, pre-loosening the bottom Allen screw, removing the top 22mm fap and the spring but, I cannot now get the Allen screw out of the bottom of the fork leg to relase leg form top tube. The bolt just spins around; I assume it screws into the bottom of the damper tube which is rotating with the screw. I have tried pulling on the chrome fork tube, pushing on it to create some tension but no joy. Have I approached this incorrectly or is there a knack to this that I havent discovered? Any advice would be very welcome. Mike
