CL77 Front Fork Rebuild Help

Post by FreeRadical » Wed Sep 27, 2017 6:04 am

Hello everyone. I've searched for this answer unsuccessfully on the forum. Can someone suggest a tool I can use to remove (and re-install) the flat retainer seal so I can get at the guts inside the lower fork case? There are two holes at the top of the retainer which I assume are meant for some sort of pin spanner. I really don't want to use the chisel and hammer method to work it free. Motion pro makes a tool that might work???

I don't use a chisle.
I use a small punch that fits in the hole and tap it around.

Like LM I have used a round punch with a blunt end.

I also made my own pin wrench from bar and a couple of suitably sized pins brazed in.

I used a little heat and a chain wrench. Without heat wouldn't move. With, easy.

Probably too late for you but I used a strap wrench. Came off easily without heating or other persuasion.
