Is there some trick I’m missing to strip the forks on my F2??? If I press down on the schrader valve I can see a snap ring, the manual says to remove this “circlip” with a sharp screwdriver but I’ve tried all sorts of pick tools etc with the cap pushed down and the ring just slides around the channel. The manual refers to a circlip but it’s definitely just a snap ring. Is there and advise on how to get this out as I’m having no luck at all with it 🤬🤬🤬

Its easier with 2 people TBH, you need to depress the top cap and then use a pick to get the circlip out of the groove and a fine flat bladed screwdriver to get in behind it, once you have the screwdriver in behind it use the pick to pull the clip upwards and work your way round it, keep an eye on it as they have a habit of launching off into the workshop in any direction.

Thanks for that, I persuaded the Mrs into the garage to help and got the clips out, what a bad design though!! |
