Damper Rod Removal
Damper Rod Removal
Before commencing with the cartridge kit installation if your forks are of the ‘damper rod’ type you will need
to remove these internals from your forks.
Step 1
Undo your OEM top cap and remove the spring and spacer tube if present.
The springs may be under considerable preload so be careful when unscrewing the
top cap to avoid injury. If there is preload adjustment make sure this is backed off first.
WARNING
There will also be a copper crush washer with the bolt, make sure you remove this and
discard it as it may be stuck in the fork bottom.
NOTE
Be careful not to slip and damage the fork tube when removing the dust seal. A plastic
chisel is an effective tool which won’t damage the fork tube.
WARNING
Step 2
Drain the old oil from the fork.
Step 3
Remove the bolt from the bottom of the lower fork tube.
Step 4
The OEM damper rod and top out spring can now be removed.
Step 5
Remove the dust seal
