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.
16. Compress the spring to remove the spring holder.
17. Lubricate the O-ring on the top cap with a smear of fork oil then screw the top cap
fully into the outer tube.
It is much easier to tighten the top cap when the fork has been refitted.
18. Fit the fork (see Front Forks - Installation).
