June 11, 200719 yr hi iv recently been taking my forks apart on my ty 250 i have got the cap off and the spring out but i dont know how to get the tube out i have tryed taking the allen key bolt out that is at the bottom of the forks but it is just turning with no apparent effect can anyone help
June 11, 200719 yr twin shock or mono? If mono, spin off the lower bolt with an air wrench. Or, make a tool like this from tubing and 7/8 inch, 22 mm hext nut welded to end. Insert down into tube from top to hold the damper rod while you use a socket wrench on the bottom outside of leg. Can't recall how post pictures. Basically, I took a 22 mm hex nut wand welded to end of 1/2 inch diamter stainless teel tubing (or rod) about 18 inches long. Then welded a 3/8 drive socket to the top end to accept the ratchet handle. The damper rod has a 12 sided picket on top of it the hex nut fits right into. Alternate, use several hx nuts tacked together and put them in a socket and extensions. Inconvenient, as they can fall out donw in the fork tube.
