magicmat Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi all, Im strugging to disassemble the forks and then drain to change my oil and seals. I have a 2011 Raga, with 40mm Marzocchi forks, and im struggling to remove the top cap as it feels tight. Am i right in thinking you just unto the top nut in a conventional manner? with a socket and just undo? .. it felt as though it tightened up was all. the top of the fork also has little holes, so i wasnt sure if it was a special tool, but looking at the diagram, i dont think it is the 2006 servicing, on this site http://www.trialspartsusa.com/tech.html doesnt give me tons of info about this. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just a silly thought, you have loosened the top triple clamp fork pinch bolts? If not this may be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmat Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 yeah loosened those, the cap starts to turn but then pinches, hense i thought i was turning the wrong part and wondered if it was a special tool that had to match the holes around the edge, but looking at that diagram i dont think it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 One side (all Silver) should be just as normal but the other side (Red & Silver) just the centre nut will turn, this bit adjusts the preload on the fork spring and turns just a couple of turns then goes tight at the end of its adjustment. Depending how tight the cap is it will come undone if you kept going if it won't then you need a tool that locates in the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
