TL125 fork seals

Post by scoot »

Well its been a long time since I replaced fork seals. I can't seem to remember how I removed the 6mm bolt at the bottom of the fork leg. Do I need a impack because it seems to want to turn when I use a allen wrench. Any help? Scoot

An impact driver is certainly the easiest way but if you don't have one, you may be able to undo the screw by compressing the forks so the fork spring pushes against the damper rod, holding it still as you turn the screw.
