Need help removing front forks!

Hi People,

To save myself some money, the garage suggested i just bring the forks in so they can replace the seals, sounded good to me!  Then i see the anti dive unit plumbed into my brake caliper!  Is there any way i can get the forks off as a unit, and have them re-fill them?  or will all fluid just escape when i remove it from the caliper, and if they replaced the seals, would i then have to fill the forks myself after re-fitting to the bike?

Cheers in advance

Hi Dave, just take out the 2 small screws on the top (pointing skywards) , and the little plunger thing will pop right off. you won't lose any brake or fork fluid. If you take the front pointing screws and remove the lower half of the unit, you WILL lose fork fluid.

Kookaloo!
