front fork
I'm trying to disassemble my front forks. I'm having a little trouble with the allen bolt. As I understand it, there's some sort of tapered nut holding it together from the inside. Is there any chance anybody has a picture of this nut, so I can rig something up to remove it? Maybe perhaps some advice on the matter?Tags: None

If you have a spark plug socket that has a hex on the bottom, this is the right size to fit into the internal hex - 19mm I think. Put a long extension into the socket sticking the extension in backwards, through the opening for the spark plug. Use the socket wrench to hold the damping rod on the inside and then loosen the hex bolt on the bottom.
Hope this helps.Ed

Keep in mind that this assembly shouldn't be torqued down too much. Most of these old forks I break apart using a broom stick to hold the inner nut.
