K7 stanchion removal?

<< < (2/2)

hairygit:
Yes, leave the spring and top nut in place, it helps by offering some resistance

Spitfire:
I had the same problem, in the end I removed the top nut placed a socket (can't remember the size) in the fork leg on top of the spring and put the nut back on, this was a struggle. The idea is to compress the spring more to get solid contact at the bottom of the leg.
I then put the fork leg in a vice, and further compressed the spring by pushing it against the wall (nut end), this allowed me to undo the allen bolt fairly easily. no impact gun required.
Other people, see previous post have used broom handles, plastic piping etc.
