Removing the Front Springs
In order to remove the front springs, follow these procedures:
1. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it with jack stands
2. Compress the front spring and slide it off the top locator.
3. Tilt the spring out away from the fork and remove it from the lower
locator.
4. Install the new spring in reverse order, then lower the vehicle and test
drive.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist, and jack stands of adequate
capacity to lift and support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting and
supporting devices of rated load capacity to support the vehicle
may result in serious injury and property damage.

This can be done with the fork still in the vehicle or while it is removed. To remove
and replace the front axle assembly, use the following procedure.
1. Raise and support the front of the vehicle.
2. Remove the axle nut and washer from the axle.
3. Pull the axle through the fork slowly.
NOTE: Do not let the spacers, oil seals, roller bearings or
bearing races fall out while removing the axle. Be sure that
these parts can be removed without damaging them or letting
them drop to the floor.
4. Install the new axle in reverse order.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist, and jack stands of adequate
capacity to lift and support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting and
supporting devices of rated load capacity to support the vehicle
may result in serious injury and property damage.
