WP43's HELP, can't get the Compression holder out!
So Today was to be the day to rebuild the forks... Bushings, seals, etc... check.
Follow the manual, check.... Lower compression holder,.... all jacked up. It appears that some monkey had cranked these in way too tight, and now they will not come out. Of course I have damaged the 19mm nuts as well. Is there any special trick to get the compression holders out? I am sure I will need to replace them when the are removed, but for now I just need them out. I have found a set of WP43's from a 2002 KTM 250EXC for a good price, but are the axle clamps the same? Will I have more trouble getting these to work, or will they just bolt up to the wheel and caliper? |

An option is to buy the KTM WP's and swap the bottom brackets. It depends on what gets damaged during disassembly. I bought my KTM 43's for the exact reason to have spares as my GG WP on the right side has a seized compression valve (seized to the lower) and the right rebound clicker was inoperative. I plan to mix and match in the spring when my schedule frees back up.
