Use a soft mallet to tap upward the handlebar lug until it disengages with the fork stem
(steering column) and main tubes. The fork assembly can then be withdrawn, (Take
care to avoid loss of any of the 56 steering head steel balls.)
To refit a complete front fork assembly
Secure with grease, 28 balls in fork crown ball race.
Secure, with grease, 28 balls in main frame top ball race.
Proceed to fit fork assembly by reversing the instructions given above to dismantle,
carefully re-tightening the damper rod lock nuts before inserting the hexagonal headed
plugs to which they are attached.
TO REMOVE A FORK SLIDER
Raise the front wheel clear of the ground.
Unscrew the top fork tube bolt and disconnect the damper rod. Unscrew the screwed
slider extension (54).
Next remove the front wheel, mudguard and stay.
The oil seal is a close fit in the enlargened end of the slider and should difficulty occur in
removing the slider, apply gentle heat at the position where the oil seal is located which
will cause the slider to expand. A sharp jerk downwards will separate the slider from
the oil seal, which will come away with the damper tube and rod assembly. The re-
assembly is carried out in the reverse order pull up the damper rods as already described
but finally tighten the screwed extension after the wheel is fitted. If oil is lost during
this process, see details for "topping up".
