Hi guys, today I am changing the seals, wipers, and oil on my R6 forks. I have completely dissasembled them apart from the seals themselves and the dampening assembly and bolt. ( I have removed the dampening rod)
When I try to unscrew the bolt on the bottom of the forks for the assembly it just turns roughly and does not come out or release the dampening assembly. I cannot remove the bolt on either of the forks.The metal dampening rod housing turns when I turn the bolt on the bottom, it does not make a difference if I hold the rod with my foot so it doesn't turn while I loosen the bolt.
I cannot "break" the leg and stanchion tube with the slide hammer method at this point either.
Am I missing something?
Here is the video tutorial that I am following : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNuL3fd8uMg
Unscrewing the dampening assembly happens at about 2:18.
Thanks in advance for the help!
