    so im trying to disassemble my fork tubes completely, and ive gotten the spring, bottom bolt and dampener rod out but when i try to pull out the inner tubes i hit a sort of bump, the pull out id say 95 percent of the way but then it stops. Ive removed the upper seal, o ring, and the bushing from the tubes but im unsure if there is any more to remove. If it help its the anti dive fork system

    Hope you guys can help

    And you have removed the spring clip under the dust seal that holds the oil seal ? Then it should pull out with a few pulls of the tube. Some times it requires a few hard pulls to get bushing to pop out

    The spring clip is out to. Spoke with my mechanic today and he also said it might be a bushing. I gues im just a bit nervous of being too rough

    The tube acts sort of like a slide hammer to drive it out from the inside.
