demon Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 What's the lower damping rod bolt size (the one over the top of the front wheel axle for the damping rod inside the fork)? My metric allen wrenches won't reach in deep enough and need to buy a longer one?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 It's a 6mm. I sacrificed one of my 6mm allen wrenches and a 6mm socket and made a tool specific to that task. Just cut off the long end of the allen wrench and JB weld it into the socket. You may need to do this anyway if the damper rod spins with the bolt- impact wrench time. The JB weld is optional, of course, but it gets annoying when the damn thing keeps falling out........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks Tim. That's just what I needed. I have "misplaced" my hand allens and only have the sockets that are too short in my posession. I'll go to the parts store tomorrow and source up the needed tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
