Have I foooked my fork?
So as part of stripping my bike I got to the forks...the aim being to completely strip them sort the squelch and rebuild after a respray.
Managed to remove the first leg and top nut to drain the oil no problem...typically the second was a pain in the ar5e. But now I have it off I think i know why. Basically the damper adjuster I think should have been wound out while I removed the top nut. Anyway...not knowing thins and thinking it was seized after 22years of not moving I finally managed to get it off...the damper adjuster now doesn’t move as it’s been forced up by the damage on the nut. It also seems to have forced the adjusting rod out possible from a circlip at the bottom and created its own thread (below the actual thread).
So
1. How do you actually get the stanchion out of the leg? I’ve removed the circlip from the top but that’s not doing it.
2. Anyone got a spare top nut or spares /repairs set of Specialized Future Shocks I can rob parks from. Any manuals or anything would be good.
Apparently there is someone on here who can service/repair them according to my post on the MTB Golden Era Facebook group.
