Re-assembling the Front Fork

Hi

I have started with the re-assembly of the front fork. 

Exploded View of Dront Springer Fork

At this point I have fitted both the small lower fork springs and the larger lower fork springs - making sure that each spring was seated correctly.

Following Palmer's advice, I used a large clamp to compress the lower fork springs.  I then slid the spring rod bushes onto the rods and fitted both the small and the large upper fork springs - again ensuring that each spring as seated correctly.

I then fitted the fork nuts.  In this photo, one of the fork nuts has taken.

Both front fork nuts have been fastened.   I then fitted the fork acron nuts.
