2. Secure the fork inner tube upright in a soft jawed
vice.
When securing the fork in a vice, take great care not to
overtighten the vice as this will cause the fork tube to
distort beyond repair.
3.
Carefully unscrew the top cap from the inner tube .
The top cap is under pressure from the fork spring. As
the last few threads of the cap are unscrewed, keep the
cap pushed firmly into the tube to prevent it being
forcibly expelled as the threads release. To prevent
injury, always wear eye, face and hand protection when
removing the top cap.
