Spray a little WD-40 in the crack between the lower triple tree and the fork and now You should be able to hold the fork cap with the wrench and spin the fork leg with the other hand. In one moment the shiny part will slide out . You might have to push on the cap from underneath to pull it out, because there is a rubber O-ring that will resist .
If You losen the clamp bolts first, You will not be able to losen the fork caps.
When installing- first push the fork all the way UP. After that tighten the clamp bolts . The fork caps are last.
lower triple tree bolts??
Is that the bolt on the bottom triangular thing that holds the fork?
I did remove the fork caps first, that was the easy part!
According to the manual I need to remove the screw underneath the turn signal. That's quite impossible at the moment because it was so stuck I shredded the head!
I did remove the Allan bolt on the tree thing. I'll try the WD40 now, because that shiny thing sure is stuck!
So why do I need to remove the Allan bolt underneath the bottom of the fork?
I am not able to do this, utterly stuck!
Also I don't quite get why you mean, you said, "First thing, loosen the 2 fork caps." but then you say, "now You should be able to hold the fork cap with the wrench and spin the fork leg with the other hand." Didn't I just loosen those? (actually I took them off). Was I supposed to tighten them again after?
Also I don't quite understand what you mean with: You might have to push on the cap from underneath to pull it out, because there is a rubber O-ring that will resist .
Push what cap , and where from underneath?
