Fork seal - damper bolt removal?

<< < (6/7) > >>

MarkCR750:
Good job, mine was straight fwd too, apart from when I dropped the slotted top retaining washer, which immediately vanished through a portal into another world, only to reappear 30 mins later and 15feet from where I dropped it, I didn't bother with threadlock , instead I put a small block of rubber in each recess so that the screw can't unwind, if I ever have to strip them again it will be easy to undo the screws,...surprising how much nicer they ride with oil in both legs!.

Perhaps all those washers and fixings we drop travel the place all the socks that go missing from the wash do. Fork oil is probably a good idea. Im a bit puzzled by the damping spring on the part fiche though, i couldnt see anything taking the stanchion out. They are almost certainly not on the garage floor, so im hoping they are still in place, wherever they are. Ill report back and post some pics when ive got everything back together again

They are inside the stanchion, under the top of the damper rod, which if you left the damper rod inside the stanchion, they will still be in place.

zebedee85:
I did! Thanks, that puts my mind at ease

hairygit:
If you look in the Haynes manual at the damper rod/ piston, the thin end is where the Allen bolts you removed screw into. The small rebound spring you were worried about slides on the thin end inside the stanchion, and abuts against the bottom of the piston head. When the forks are fully extended, it cushions the impact between the piston/rod and the slider. Hope that makes sense to you.
