Steering Head Removal and Forks

(1/2) > >>

waffey:
Hi
took the forks off today. They are corroded at the top but pretty good behind the fork rubbers. See picture.

I cant get the head stock off at all, i dont want to use any brute force yet (got the pus gas out on the head stock). Why dont they just fall out or do you think they are corroded in. they move freely enough though.

hairygit:
You need to remove the top yoke first, then you will see a large castellated round nut underneath. You then need to remove the large nut to release the lower yoke and bearings. Watch it though, the bearings will fall out and go everywhere!

kevski:
And remove the axle stand from underneath. :P

all off now.

first issue is one bottom fork leg bolt is spinning around. any solutions out there? (don't forget i'm a newbie to this restoring/heartache lark)

The other fork leg is tripped but the bottom for is badly marked. I tried soem wet n dry. Question is do i continue with wet n dry or take it to some polishing firm?
