hi does anyone have any info in dismantling the 300 forks to replace the seals? cant seem to get the legs separated.

thanks

big hex head screw at the bottom Use an air gun or it wont work. if you have no airgun, loosen the screw when forks are in the bike and weight is on it....otherwise itb wont work....

Thanks Lee,

i have got the nut loose, just not able to seperate. are you saying they wont separate unless the bolt is undone under weight of the bike?

No but it must be removed total. Then just pull apart

When you get them apart, you could weld a M10 rod coupler (long nut) on the top of the dampner. This will allow you to hold the dampner tight when you tighten and then undo in the future.

thanks for the help guys, managed to get them appart to get to the seals.

couple more questions,

1) is the rebound adjustable on these forks? spent the other weekend pogo-ing from rock to rock!

2) seals are odd in each leg eg. one leg has a small and a large seal, other leg 2 large seals? is this correct?

also does anyone have a exploded diagram of these forks?

thanks
