[. . . ] 12. ) Normally, it's unnecessary to remove the anti bottoming system from the inner leg, but it is a good idea to shine a flash light down inside to visually inspect the compression bumper. If it looks damaged invert the leg and tap it on a soft block of wood or plastic to remove it. Note be careful with the threads as it is very easy to damage the inner leg. Problem: Cause: Solution: Problem: Cause: Solution: Problem: Cause: Solution: Disassembly of the damper side leg assembly (RH) Problem: Cause: Solution: 1. ) Unscrew the top cap from the outer leg. Note, you can easily damage the shaft by scratching or bending it, when you clamp, make sure the outer leg isn't touching the bench below the vise. Note, there is a small spacer on all models that sometimes stays in the cap, but can fall out. 5. ) Place the axle clamp into a vise with soft jaws or some type of protection that will not harm the finish. 6. ) Remove the Dust cap and depress the Schrader valve to depressurize the system. 7. ) Unscrew the seal head counterclockwise with a pinwrench, or similar tool. 10. ) Remove the leg and axle clamp from the vise and invert it over the drain pan to release the damper fluid. While the leg is in this position push the piston upwards with a blunt tool such as a socket extension to drain any remaining oil out of the reservoir. 11. ) Use a 1/16 pin punch to remove pin that retains the compression screw. Using a blowgun through the compression adjuster hole will remove the floating piston through the top of the cannister. Remove the shaft assembly. Maintenance Your White Brothers Fork requires periodic maintenance to ensure peak performance and long life. We suggest you disassemble your forks, inspect, clean and re-grease them after 30 hours of use. If the forks appear to be relatively clean, you can probably go 40 hours between servicing. The three things that will most effect the service interval and performance of your forks are water, mud and dust?How much time you use your forks in those conditions will determine how much service they require. NOTE: When cleaning the fork, it is not recommended to direct water spray at the seals. NOTE: Neglecting proper fork maintenance will reduce the fork''s life. Internal build up of water and dirt, or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear to the forks. In harsh condition it is advisable to inspect the forks for dirt ingestion after each ride. Basic service should include disassembly of the forks, cleaning and regreasing all shafts and seals. [. . . ] 11. ) Install the small spring and then screw the top cap down on to the dummy rod until it stops, then bring the jam nut up and lock the cap in place. Note: a little more than hand tight is all that is necessary, as the cap remains tight when clamped by the upper crown. Reinstalling the RH top cap 13. )Screw the needle in clockwise until it stops. Note: you can easily damage the shaft by scratching or bending it, when you clamp, make sure the outer leg isn't touching the bench below the vise. 16. ) Install the top cap down on to the damper rod until it stops, and tighten it.
