Ohlins FG9910 46mm Fork Oil Change

[Dirk D]

Need to change the oil and seals in my 46mm Ohlins, and all the shops are backed up right now. Any special tools to do this besides the cap removal tool? I found the bleeding procedure as far as flipping the fork over to eliminate air, any special tools needed to remove the base valve?

No special tools other than the spanner to get the cap off. Depending on the version of the forks you need to heat the outer tube 1" in from the seal end and also 5" in from the seal end so you can get both bushings out. If you have the version with the deeper bushing and if does not come out with the fork tube plan on spending 45 min with a piece of PVC pipe to remove the bushing without damaging the inner surface.
