[QUOTE="fruitfarmer7, post: 1288263, member: 89418"] Went through that myself, got the service so it explained it there. Once you unscrew the caps, and before doing this release the upper tube clamp bolts, the thing is attached to the dampening rod, unusual, anyway you have to drop the front end of the bike, release the jack or whatever you have supporting the frame. The dampening rods and then spring will appear above the fork tubes. Next you will have to push the spacer down slip a 17mm wrench to hold the jam nut on the dampener rod and remove the fork cap, via 30mm socket or wrench. withdraw the springs slowly to leave as much oil in forks as possible, if you want to change the oil, you evidently have to pull the tube and dump it out. The dampening rod will drop back down in the tube, but can be retrieved fairly easily with a magnet or looped wire. To reinstall you are going to have to use some wire to hold the dampening rod up and then thread it through the spring and spacer, the spacer can be pulled down and held by sliding it under the dampening rod jam nut, you may have to raise or lower the front end of the bike to expedite this. You may have to slide some needle nose or something else between the jamb nut on the dampner rod and the spacer (tube) in order to hold and tighten the cap nut and the jamb nut. Sure is more complicated than the other bikes I've owned. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
