Damper Removal
Clamp the fork into the work stand with the steerer tube oriented
downward.
Push the rebound damper shaft into the upper tube and through the
shaft guide. The damper will slide through the upper tube and exit
through the crown into your hand.
Clean the rebound damper shaft and inspect it for scratches.
NOTICE
Scratches on the shaft can cause oil to leak. If a scratch is visible the
rebound damper may need to be replaced.
Carefully remove the seal head retainer with a flat blade screwdriver.
NOTICE
Do not damage the retainer during removal. Damage will prevent it
from staying attached when reinstalled. If damaged during removal,
the retainer must be replaced.
Use a screwdriver handle to firmly push the seal head into the upper
tube.
