Hi Manuel Thanks for the info, i will check out the southwest site. Sounds like this a good man to know! Thanks again....... Pete.

Thanks. A manual is by far the best way to go. If i see this 90p one i will get it. There was a Clymer montesa manual on ebay not too long ago but i dont think it covered my model. It went for about 25 quid!

Thanks..... I am not too sure of the year. I will try to check it out, i think it is 1975 but not sure. I bought it some time ago and the bloke i bought it from said it was a 75. If you know of a way of telling i will find out? The forks have a black cone shaped bit that is the bit that the nut screws to and stops the oil coming out i think? but there is also a plunger in there that is not a tight fit in the tube. i am not sure if this should just offer resistance or be a tight fit. I will get the fork cleaned up and get it with me so i can describe it better to you. Thanks again. ...... Pete.

Thanks for the reply. Sort of worked it out today, i was undoing that nut on the bottom of the fork but it turned and turned! after some time the penny dropped, long bladed screw driver down the top to locate in the slot to stop it turning. I hope i am ok for a bit more info? not too sure what i am looking for inside. There is a rubber washer/plunged on the bar that is held by the bottom nut, should this be a tight fit in the bore of the fork tube? Its quite slack? not like a bicycle pump, is this right or should it act like a piston? Also, how much oil per fork leg and what sort please. Sorry for all the questions. I have been told there is no manual for this model, is this right? Thanks Pete.

Hi. I have just joined trials central as i am just starting to give my old cota a make over. Working from the front back, i have encountered my first problem. I have removed the fork legs. But now i am stuck. I cant work out how to separate the 35mm tube from the lower part of the fork leg. Can any one help with this please? I am sure more help will be needed as the project continues. Thanks in advance..... Pete. Ps. If you could keep it as simple as possible please.
