Well I decided to get rid of the dust shields on my bilsteins that are all crunched up, but I seem to be having a problem remving the bilstein from the damper fork. I went at it for an hour trying to get that thing off and It didn't budge at all.

I tried wd-40 and liqud wrench, but nothing seemed to work

Any suggestions?

 

You did remove the bolt holding the fork on right?

 

Yeah I just can't seem to yank it down from there

 

Have you tried "pushing/pulling" opposite ends of the fork, in an attempt to "wiggle" it free from the shock?

 

Try a BFH on the fork. I always have more trouble getting them back on then off. Makes sure you clean out the borre really well when its off.

 

Did you remove the bolts through the shock mount yet? Maybe you might want to leave those two bolts in, and did you also take both bolts out of the fork? Take both bolts out and maybe try turning the fork from side to side?

I'm with Ed on this one, always have more problems putting the fork on than taking it off. Good luck.

I tried wiggling, but maybe not good enough, I'll try that when I get home

Thanks guys
