Subject: How to disassemble RST fork?
|
I have a CT-COM1 RST fork with rotted dust boots (wipers, seals
whatever you call them). I called RST and they quickly sent me a new
pair of boots NC but they can't (or won't) supply any kind of exploded
view or instructions on how to disassemble the fork. Unscrewing the
preload knob assembly lets me lift out the springs and assorted
spacers and pistons but looking down the hole all I see is a solid rod
end with no bolt head or screwdriver slot. How do these things come
apart?

I don't know but you should probably be looing for an allen bolt in
the bottom and maybe at the top of the "rod".

Thanks for the idea- I didn't think about a bolt from the bottom up
but I just went out and looked and no such luck.

You try the bottom of each leg.
