Lower Shaft Disassembly Figure 11:
Note: Lower Shaft disassembly is best done with fork
removed from the bicycle. Disassembly of the damping stack
is not required unless you want to change or replace the shim
stack.
1. Remove the left cap compression damping assembly from
the top of the fork leg and pour the oil out of the top of the
fork and discard appropriately. For complete disassembly
continue.
2. Remove the plastic end cap and pull the lower shaft out of
the inner leg.

3. Remove 2 or 3 Stg Elastomer and capture the 1/8Ó Dia
detent ball.
4. Adjuster needle must be unscrewed from the shaft.
5. Remove valve nut using end wrench and holding the shaft in
soft jaws or collet to prevent damage.
Compression Damping Disassembly figure 12:
1. The compression damping assembly is almost identical to
the lower shaft assembly.
2. Unscrew the compression damping adjuster all the way until
it stops. The knob and the needle do not need to be
removed. The shaft also does not need to be removed from
the cap. The threads are bonded to prevent leaking.
3. Remove either the valve nut of the piston seat following the
instructions above for the lower shaft assembly.
