Looking good Dav.

Well done Butch, they can be a pain in the rissole to change.
For the first time I've done them, I didn't think it was too bad. Funnily enough I read an old post of yours yesterday about Haynes not including helpful information, and two tips/points I think they could have included on fork seal change:
1 (this may of just been my forks and because the oil was old etc), but the sliding hammer action to separate the fork leg and stancion took bleeding ages, because it kept getting stuck at the top. Had to use a block o wood and gentle taps to free it, before one more slide, and it'd then get stuck again.
2 Saying to torque the damper rod bolt when you pop the cartride and stancion back in the leg - This is impossible because of course it just spins, and you can get anywhere near enough turns to get it sealed enough so it won't piddle out your new fork oil. (Learnt this the hard way) - So I had to temp install the spring and top bolt to get a bit more downward pressure to hold the cartridge still, so I could turn the damper rod bolt a bit more to seal it enough for the oil. Then of course spring back out to oil up and then properly re-assemble. I still can't quite torque one of them, as even with everything re-assembled you can feel and hear everything still spinning. Hoping that once its back in bike and top bolt torqued, that'll be enough to torque the bottom bolt.

Separating them was the trickiest part for me. One bush rode over the other and then got stuck in the seal.
There is a special tool for holding the damper rod in place, not sure who the current keeper is though. Others have used a broom handle to good effect, and yet others have spun it tight using a drill.

Found a Broom handle to large, i used a long 10mm x 10mm with a wedge cut on the end, http://www.carpe-tdm...c=36320&page=24
Post 463 may help.. and i found a little heat helped a lot to split the forks.

The special tool is for Carpe members to use, you just pay for delivery postage, use it, then pass on to next member. Thinking on, not sure if it's only for 9'ers or if it can be used on all TDM forks.
Just checked and I sent it to Luke, in 2017.

Just had a quick search and it seems no-one has tried using the 9'er tool on a mk1 or a mk2. No idea if it'll fit or not Lee.

Niner is 29mm AF hex, or a 3/4" UNF bolt head 1.1/8" but for the niner I made a nylon plug to fit at top to keep it straight and protect the fine threads. Obviously a 41mm leg has a smaller internal diameter. Easy to make and I'm happy to make up a set for the club if someone wants to be the keeper of the tools.
Just found this post Lee, measurements for mk1 tool are there but I dunno if they're useable measurements.

I made this years ago, I think it was for XT600 forks but may have been Z650 forks, anyhows the hex on the end is 27mm and it's about 450mm long.
If anyone needs it just ask, I am south cambs. (St.Neots).

Edit: If TDM forks are smaller hex needed there's no reason I couldn't weld another nut on the end, just need tube ID and hex size, could even do a stepped one if 850 & 900 are different.
