Fork disassembly?
07/13/11 at 12:59:41

Searched around couldnt quite find anything.

Im trying to take the fork apart but cant quite get it.

I think Im having the same problem as him, but before i start yanking, whats with the allen bolt? I couldnt get it out. Does this mean I need the special tool, or can I proceed to separate the tube from the slider?

Mine is made from threaded rod, 5/8 bolt, and a long "nut" to hold the two together.
