My 350 project
Tiny Tim:
Forks are off the bike, I was going to take them apart and send the stanchions off to Philpotts for rechroming. But I can not get to the dust seal and circlip due to the chrome shrouds (part no 5 in the picture below) on top of the forks. They just won't budge, already put a small crease in one, I'd rather not do anymore damage.

Ah, never seen one like that before so hence not understanding, i would think that they either screw on or press on either way gentle heat and WD should aid movement
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Agree with Bryan some screwed on and some pushed cant remember what models though sorry.Back in the days of plenty if real bad seized we cut them off and replaced with then reasonable priced new ones
Cheers

Tim. Have included some pictures to help. The chrome shrouds are a press fit and are very tight. This is how I got them off.
Held the fork slider in the vice so I could see the little cutout area just below the shroud

Then after liberal application of PlusGas penetrating fluid, started it moving using a sharp screwdriver and a small hammer. Be very gentle with it so as not to cause damage. Once its moving, move around the shroud, keeping it even all around, gently tapping it out until its far enough out to pull off.

Just need to be gentle and tons of patience. Good luck!!
Tiny Tim:
Thanks Guys, I shall have another go in the next day or two.
Fortunately I do have another set of forks so if I damage one at least there's a back up.
