fork oil seals
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Mike,
Sorry to sound like a broken record but in my day you inserted a blank steel rod about the same size as the Allen bolt head and belted it with a hammer a couple off times.This acts like an impact driver and usually does the trick 98 out of a 100. The Allen bolt starts to undo, a bit like a x head screw that will not shift.Most costumers if they saw this operation cringed but it worked.
Cheers
Bitsa
MikeM:
so its rust around the threads your trying to break ?
this is what I am using
Trigger:
I always use an air gun. What you can try Mike, is put your allen in a drill and switch it to reverse hammer. This should vibrate it out.
Trigger:
The allen bolt has a copper washer which acts as a seal. You must break the seal. The pressure of the spring should help it from turning.
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Plus 1 with trig or just belt the Allen key you have in the socket it will come undone also squirt some releasing fluid on it b4
Cheers
Bitsa
