4. Place the fork slider over the post at the bottom of the Fork
Compressor Tool and into the top of the Fork Compressor Tool
so that the FL adapter or the damper assembly lines up with the
locator and 2 allen screws (See
Fig. 1
). Snug the 2 allen screws
so the tip of each screw has engaged into each of the detents.
NOTE:
Turning the top adjuster nut of the Fork Compressor Tool
clockwise will shorten the fork spring. Turning the top nut of the Fork
Compressor Tool counter-clockwise will lengthen the fork spring.
WARNING!
Never use an impact wrench on the Fork Compressor
Tool. Doing so could cause damage to the tool and/or bodily injury
to you.
5. Turn the top adjuster nut of the Fork Compressor Tool clockwise
with the 3/4” socket and ratchet. Only compress spring enough
to release tension from the locknut. With a 14mm deep socket,
remove lock nut from the damper rod.
6. Turn the top adjuster nut of the Fork Compressor Tool counter-clock
wise with the 3/4” socket and ratchet to release tension on the
fork spring. Remove fork assembly from the Fork Compressor Tool.
For Assembly:
Follow these instructions in reverse for assembly. Be sure
to follow all guidelines as stated in dis-assembly.
NOTE:
In some cases the damper rod will fall inside the fork tube
assembly where it does not stick-up past the damper or FL adapter.
In this situation, slide the damper rod extension JIMS
®
(No. 1776-9)
through the FL adapter or damper assembly and thread it onto the
end of the damper rod. Pull the damper rod out of the tube assem-
bly and unscrew the rod extension. Do not allow the damper rod to
retract back inside the tube assembly. From there, thread the lock
nut onto the end of the damper rod and continue to follow the
instructions in reverse order.
Again, JIMS

Please follow these instructions carefully and you will have a safe
and productive experience.
