Fork seal - damper bolt removal?
Spitfire:
I had a problem with that bolt on my F1, it just kept turning on me, so I removed the top bolt put a socket in and replaced the bolt, it still laughed at me. So in the end I had to put a bigger (longer) socket under the top bolt, put the fork leg in the vice and jammed the top nut against the wall, tightened the vice, gave the bolt a few sharp taps and hey presto out it came. So if you do use the broom handle method you may have to vary the length.
Cheers
Denis

I now use an impact driver with a hex bit. So far has never let me down, (need some wood to touch).

Got it - broom handles are popular. I don't have an impact gun, just the old fashioned one which requires physical violence. I'm sure I'll understand when the fork is apart but do I take that the broom handle goes down the stanchion?
hairygit:
Yes, with the spring removed.
