WARNING
If the axle holder is not securely clamped, the
front fork assembly may come out of the vise
when compressed, which could cause an ac-
cident resulting in injury. However, clamp-
ing the axle holder too tightly can damage it
which will affect riding stability. Use protec-
tive aluminum covers on the jaws of the vise
and do not tighten the vise excessively.
•
Loosen the right front fork bottom plug completely.
NOTE
○
When removing the right front fork bottom plug ,
do not force to loosen it at once using an impact
wrench.

(Special Tool: 57001-1771):
•
Compress the outer tube by hands and install the
top plug wrench (special tool: 57001-1645) be-
tween the axle holder bottom and locknut.
WARNING
The fork spring applies pressure to the ad-
juster assembly and can eject the special
tool with substantial force if the tool is not
properly and securely placed. Be sure the
tool is fully in place as shown in the photo,
and keep fingers away to avoid getting them
pinched between the tool, adjuster assembly
and axle holder.
