Hi,
I have a cheap front shock that needs servicing, but I can't work out
how to take it apart. It is an M3000 series shock (I think a M3050
precisely).
There are two allen bolts on the base of the fork, these undo, and
then the actual fork can move indendently of the rest of the
suspension, but cannot be removed. I think I need to undo the preload
adjusters at the top of the fork to do this.
Problem is that they are splined plastic. An attempt with pliers
didn't work, and I don't know what tool will remove this. The splines
are external rather than internal.
I'm starting to realise that fixing bikes can be a lot more expensive
and awkward than cars with all the special tools and stuff.
Thanks,
Andrew
