During the step that follows, measure the length of the threads above the
locknut for the installation procedure.
8. Loosen the damper locknut a small amount, then unscrew and remove the top cap
and the rebound adjuster rod, taking care not to bend the rod. The top cap assembly
cannot be dismantled.
9. Measure the length of threads from the lock nut to the damper rod end.
10. Compress the fork spring again and remove the spring holder and service tool
T3880067.
11. Pump the damper rod to remove all the oil.
While compressing the fork spring and while the spring holder is in place always wear
protective equipment for the face and eyes and never stand directly above or look
directly down on the fork. If the spring compressor or holder should dislodge or
detach, the resulting release of spring tension could cause parts to fly off resulting in
injury to the user.
Note the orientation of the spring spacer for installation.
