<DIV></DIV>>The fork caps are 36mm (if you need a socket, Sears usually keeps them
<DIV></DIV>>in stock and they only cost $7 or so).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The rubber isolators will need to be removed first, then the fork caps.
<DIV></DIV>>The isolators may split apart when you try to remove them, then you'll
<DIV></DIV>>probably have to grab what's left with Vise-Grips.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>It shouldn't take more than the socket, a 1/2" breaker bar and maybe a
<DIV></DIV>>cheater pipe. Hopefully nobody has cross-threaded them! Probably
<DIV></DIV>>wouldn't hurt to use a bit of anti-seize on the threads when you
<DIV></DIV>>reassemble to make next time easier. Hope this helps,
