3.5 REMOVING THE SPRING UNIT
As part of the small service we recommend to remove the spring unit in order to remove
introduced lubricating oil from the spring unit and from the left stanchion.
DANGER
RISK OF INJURY FROM PRESSURIZED COMPONENTS!
If the spring unit or the air chamber cap is removed without first releasing the air, the spring
unit or the air chamber cap is ejected from the stanchion after loosening the screw connection.
• Release the air completely before unscrewing the spring unit or the air chamber cap.
• While deflating the air, move the fork several times through the travel and deflate the air
again (see „3. Small service" on page 11).
• Components that may be under pressure must never point towards the face or body
during disassembly.
1. Make sure the valve cap is removed and the air is completely released (see „3.2 Releasing The
Air" on page 12).
2. Clamp the fork in a suitable device so that
the open sides of the stanchions points
downwards.
3. Using the FWTXXXXXXXXXX014126S tool,
unscrew the spring unit from the underside
of the left stanchion.
4. Drain the oil from the stanchion and the
spring unit.
It is not necessary to clean the spring unit or
the inner surface of the left stanchion. The
remaining oil lubricates the sliding surfaces of
the spring unit.
The 130, 140 and 150 mm models have a
volume spacer inside the left stanchion. The
position of the volume spacer must not be
changed and the volume spacer must not be
removed.
If the volume spacer has been moved
accidentally, it must be positioned so that
the distance from the lower edge of the left
stanchion to the lower edge of the volume
spacer is 247 to 252 mm.
