Note!
1
Record the rebound adjuster setting and the pressure in the positive air chamber
and ramp up chamber before service. We recommend using a bike stand to clamp
the steering tube when working on the fork.
1.
Thoroughly clean the outside of the fork from dirt or grit. Place the
fork in a bike stand accoring to picture with air spring side pointing
upwards and the fork on the right hand side of the clamp jaws.
2.
Release the air from the positive air chamber at the top and the
ramp up chamber at the bottom.
3.
Use a socket wrench with a 12/14 mm deep hex socket to remove
the nut and the washer (for 12 mm) on the lower air valve.
4.
Use a socket wrench with a hex socket 28 mm (18860-01) or a
cassette lockring tool to loosen the air spring.
Caution!
✋
Do not use an adapter between wrench and socket, as this will increase the risk of
damaging the anodized finish of the top cap.
Note!

When removing the Air Spring cartridge, it is easy to damage the Top Cap. Put
pressure on the wrench while unthreading the Top Cap.
