\nThe inner tubes came back from re-plating, so let’s assemble the forks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThey’ve come back looking brand new. The surface finish is excellent.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe runout is perfect and I’m really happy about it.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"
\nWe’re doing a quality check, so we’re measuring with the inner tube holder held loosely. Better than OEM. Excellent.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNow… the oil lock won’t come out? A common issue.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDiagram of reverse assembly.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt fits in like this, which is good. It’s a relief we weren’t using the full stroke.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAlways order new spring washers each time. (If the previous ones are unclear.)<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThree on one side. The oil lock step is quite pronounced.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOne on the other side.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRemove the step and polish it clean.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAlways clean thoroughly so you can apply proper torque, and remove any thread locker.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nReplace bolts and gaskets every time.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe oil seal is reliable SKF.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere’s no specific inner metal specification, but if the inner and outer diameters match, you can use an alternative. Since it would be costly, I don’t think many parts are offered individually for each model.
\nThere are tons of 41\u03c6 sizes, so you can quickly find one from samples.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThey corrode surprisingly easily, so a quick spray of rust preventative oil is good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAfter some sloshing, then vacuum bleed. It’s quite effective.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThere’s quite a bit of bubbling. If you carefully bleed the air during disassembly, you’ll be fine.<\/p>\n
