1952 K model shocks
Does everyone own the special spanner tool that is used to turn the internal threaded slug in the forks? Where can I get one?
I am trying to get my forks apart. When I remove the cap from the top of the forks, the next item to come out is this threaded cylinder with two holes in it.
I believe its purpose is to preload the springs in the shocks.
I need that tool and a search so far hasn't worked. I may be calling it the wrong name.
I have taken out the drain plug from the end of the shock and also removed the cap screw that is in the very bottom of the lower shock and I think it should come apart now, once the threaded cylinder is removed.
I hope I am right on this. I believe the rubber seal at the top of the lower leg does not prevent the shock from coming apart.
I'm using the instructions from a '59 Sportster
