Lower Leg Removal
Place an oil pan beneath the fork to catch the draining oil.
Loosen both bottom bolts 3 to 4 turns.
Strike each bottom bolt to dislodge the shafts from the lower leg on
each side. The bolt head should contact the bottom of the lower leg.
29" Lower Legs:
Insert a 5 mm hex wrench into the bolt head and
strike the wrench.
Remove each bottom bolt. Clean each bolt and set them aside.
Firmly pull the lower leg downward until fluid begins to drain. Continue
pulling downward to remove the lower leg.
If the lower leg does not slide off of the upper tube or if oil does not
drain from either side, the press fit of the shaft(s) into the lower leg may
still be engaged. Reinstall the bottom bolts 2 to 3 turns and repeat the
previous step.
NOTICE
Do not strike the fork arch with any tool when removing the lower leg
as this could damage the lower leg.
