Hi, Dave. Your dilemma sounds familiar, though it has
beena few years. I remember that frustrating situation
- everything seemed OK, but the fork tubes just
wouldn't go all the way on. I think forcing a
screwdriver blade into the pinch area (as you ahve
done) is a good idea, for starters. I think (if I
remember correctly) that mine were handing up
somewhere and I finally got it all together by just
wiggling the bottom of them around. If I recall
correctly, one would hang up while I worked on the
other, and vica versa, but eventually they both freed
at the same time and it slid together.
I hope someone else can be of more help to you!
-Mike

Everything was moving right along until reassembly. Just can't seem to get the tubes past the pinch area in the lower triple tree. I have the plug-on-a-stick tool and I hammered a screwdriver in the pinch area to open it a bit. Still no go. I know I must be overlooking something simple, but for the life of me can't see it. Where am I going wrong? I know someone out there has that magic tip. TIA, Dave in Oregon 70 Ambo |
