+ | The following tips from the XLF threads were especially helpful: | ||
+ | 1) Loosen (not remove) the Damper Bolts (6mm Allen Key) while the forks are still on the bike & under spring tension | ||
+ | 2) Remove the Fork Caps using a 1-3/8" Socket (35mm) | ||
+ | 3) Align the fork cap on the slider tube (no springs installed) and mark the exact point (on both the cap and the slider) | ||
+ | .... where the threads begin to engage - This tip was extremely helpful in getting the cap back on while compressing the spring... | ||
+ | 4) Use a 1-1/2" PVC coupling for the fork seal driver (coupling center spline removed) | ||
