After only a small amount of cursing I managed to the get the front end apart on my Eldo. It had/has the same clunking sound described by another member here. I plan to put a couple 1/2" spacers made out of PVC (1 1/2") to see if that helps. For those that have done this- did you put the spacer at the top or the bottom of the spring? I'm inclined to put it at the bottom in the 'cup' of the spring housing.
Also- does anyone know what that fine thread size is on the upper fork tube? I want to clean up the threads on the fork and the nut. Thanks much, Jason
