Scott,
Yes, you need a large socket (27 mm or is a 30 mm?) to get off that
large bolt to pour in the new fork oil. At the bottom of each fork you'll
find the drain screw/bolt; it drains faster without the fork bolt.
I've put in 50 wt motor oil in my Eldo and that has improved the
handling over the other weights I've used. I've also got a set of Moto Int.
progressively wound fork springs (with pre-load spacer) which helps a bunch
as well.
Bruce
'72 Eldo

| Changing the fork oil on a 73 Eldo, after removing the dash and the rubber mounting stud for the dash from the fork I am left with a large nut, I assume this is the cap for the fork. The Chiltons manual is a bit weak in their description. Scott |
