Will upload pictures shortly. Working on a motorcycle is a pain in the gluteus maximus. Tight working spaces, accessing to bolts and nuts and screws quite restrictive. One fork tube out second one held in place only by stop ring which of course is located in such a way to maximize pain. Did I mention working on motorcycles is a pain in the gluteus maximus. :P pictures soon.

Pics are good Barry.... remember that we don't want to see the motorcycle... we want pics of YOU working on your motorcycle :D

Tools and cleaning rags go-jo.::)
-
Tools of the trade only missing one tool. I see the big hammer, but where's the BIGGER hammer? :yes:
-
Just the pics of all the parts laying around and all the tools would have sent me running. I'm afraid these hands and fingers aren't meant for fine work.
Hats off to you for even considering tackling that stuff.
-
The work is pretty straightforward not really that difficult were it not for the confined spaces
-
That is pretty much why I was a TRUCK mechanic. More room to work!
-
Iddee, what you see is a 5lb mini sledge, have a 15lb full sized sledgehammer but that may be a bit much even for Irish mechanics
-
A truck mechanic's tool box in the Army has a 1/2 lb. ball peen and a 2 lb. ball peen. In mechanic school, they taught us the 1/2 lb. was for working on trucks. The 2 lb. was for working on drivers.
-
LOL!! So true!
-
I had a friend of mine that was an Army mechanic he worked on tracked vehicles. I have never seen tools and equipments so large so heavy as what he had available to him totally understandable nothing I would voluntarily choose to work with....just saying lol
-
Lazybkr, not nearly as much space in current generation of trucks and virtually none in car's. No more sitting in the engine compartment to work on the motor lol...:P
-
Yes, thats true, in fact, now you have to unbolt the body to get the engine out on many of them.. No thanks... Things were easier from the early 80's to late 90's.. You JUST cant beat a multifuel deuce.

Ok so those are the old, bushings, oil seal, retaining ring...obviously in very sad shape lol bought split ring pliers to remove retaining ring, so of course wound up using a screwdriver>:(

Sludge encrusted fork spring, lower outside fork tube
-
looks like the hardest part will be the cleaning.. is the inside of the tube pitted?
-
A bit not too bad soaking everything in cleaner.
Am having difficulty pulling apart the other fork tube probably jammed with goop.
