Spraying Fork Lowers

--Euan-- · June 2007

I bought some used forks, and wish to re-spray the lowers. Is it just a case of undoing the bolts and removing stantions from lowers, or do i have to drain oil etc

well what forks?

it may be the case as you undo the bolts all the oil pours out.

turn them upside down and then undo the foot nuts. that is one way to keep the oil inside.

so this would enable me to remove the lowers completely to spray them??

also do you know where i can get a working drawing of the super t?

thanks

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"> Err NO, removing the Foot nuts will allow you to either pull the lowwers of the staintions or the staintions out off the lowers.

if upside down it is possible for most of the oild to stay inside the staintions.
