Hi everyone
So I've got myself some new pace RC36's off here recently and need a bit of help with circlips. First day, the circlips popped straight off the bottom of the damper leg bouncing in my kitchen :evil: :evil: :evil: Super miffed that it should happen to a previously unused for but that's another story
So i'm trying to get them back together so they're ridable...
They're the Stealth Hollowform model from 2003.
Does anyone have any clue on how to get the circlip back onto the bottom of the damper leg after removing the lower legs for servicing?
I can't seem to get the internal damper rod to stick out of the bottom of the leg enough to sit the circlip in the right postion? It's mad, the spring leg is fine and pops right into position but the damper site won't push out the fork enough, no matter how hard I try and pull it with pliers out of the bottom of the fork. Trying to compress them all the way is impossible..
Anyone has experience of this? How do you service yours? Do your circlips go on easily?
Cheers for any advice
Dave
