Fork Driveshaft Maintenance
Removal
•
Remove the four countersunk M4 screws under the
crown of fork which hold the crown cover plate in
place.
•
Remove the Crown-Cover plate. Slide the Upper
Front driveshaft and the crown cover plate down, as
shown, towards the dropouts. The Upper Front
Driveshaft will compress and slide on the splined
portion of the drive shaft.
▪
Remove the fork drive shaft capture bolt. It is an M6 bolt
on the end of the fork drive shaft located under the pinion gear.
▪
To loosen the bolt, use the supplied short-end 4mm Allen
wrench to hold the bolt in position while turning the hex piece
of the driveshaft counterclockwise (from the top of the fork
looking down), with a 10mm box wrench.
▪
TIP: If the driveshaft is stuck in the gear, loosen the bolt
halfway and then gently tap the blot head with a hammer to
free the driveshaft.
