[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1263139, member: 6354"] "Shifting spanner???" What the hell? English, dude!!!! :) I guess you mean a crescent wrench? Don't make fun of 'Muricans unless yer gonna SPEAK 'Murican!!! To the original issue, it's never even occurred to me to leave the caps tight until I got the forks off the bike. Of course, I don't have a vise, and I know my grip isn't quite strong enough to hold the fork and remove the cap. The triple tree [I]is[/I] the vise for that task. I never saw one so tight you needed an air wrench to yank it loose, though. That's kinda scary! [/QUOTE]
