Stripping forks this week to replace a stanchion. Did my oil seals while I'm at it.
First fork was a breeze, like I was graced with the 'Hand of Haynes' to guide me.
The bottom bolt came out without fuss, swapped seal, filled with oil and the new Ohlins spring (gives a nod to Admin, ta) and Bob's indeed my uncle.
The other one had left me wishing I hadn't started (except I really need to replace that slider on this one....). Yep, it's that damn bolt. It's freed up a tad, but I guess the old thread lock is doing it's job and the internal damper rod is turning inside.
How can i grip it? I've tried the broom handle trick, to no avail, it still spins. Anyone else been in this mess?
