I just got my front forks off my bike and realized that they do not have a cap screw of any kind. they are Pnumatic, and the air valve is recessed down into the top of the pipe with absolutely nothing to get a wrench around. I can't find a drawing that shows this configuration. I have an 82 GS550lZ.

Don't think "wrench", think "socket".
They had to put it in there somehow, it will come out.

Clean it out and you should find a C clip holding it together. Pull the clip out and it should come apart.Comment

Hi,
Ms. SqDancerLynn1 is correct. The "stopper ring" is #27 in the parts fiche picture. You'll need some snap ring pliers or similar.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Thank you for your replies, there was a c clip which had been completely disguised by rust and such.
Another Question: On page 628 of my service manual, it says that anytime the forks are dissembled the outer and inner "anti friction" metals must be replaced along with the oil seal. I believe what they are referring to is parts 22 and 14 in the parts fisch provided by BassCliff. Is this true? or can I just make sure they are not too worn and keep using them? If so, what would lead me to believe they were worn enough to replace?Comment
