November 14, 201015 yr Just doing an oil change on the front suspension of a 2010 290! Right hand side allen bolt came out without a problem but the Left side just keeps turning without coming out !!!!!!! any ideas anyone ???
November 14, 201015 yr I had this problem recently when replacing a fork seal. If you put the lower fork leg in a vice and pull on the stanchion as you're unwinding the bolt it should come out. Hope that helps.

The bolts at the bottom of the forks are different sizes the larger one being the Left side I cant get out. I am starting to think that someone has stripped the thread and shoved a larger bolt in !!!

Ah, looks like they should be different sizes even though the parts manual states they are the same !!! it just needed a quick buzz with a windy gun !!. Job done
