So I pulled the stack out of my 96 Judy XCs the other day and the elastomers are smoked. Crumbled in my fat stupid fingers. So today I was in 'the basement,' and I came across a set of 98 Judy Type 3 coil springs. Will these work in my 96?
I pulled it all apart last night, and the coil springs do fit. Now that being said, the rebound is pretty quick, and I wouldn't even know how to get the damper cartridge out of there. I shined a flashlight in there and didn't even see one! Arg... I wish I could see pictures of what I was doing. I cant seem to find a downloadable manual (with pictures) off the net.
You need some pliers, to pinch the retaining ring. You have to squeeze them together with a special plier, and then you can take out the damper.
I looked it up, it's called:small tip internal snap ring pliers.
