[QUOTE="hppants, post: 911576, member: 27852"] Well, I'm totally frustrated. My bike is a 2005 non-abs. FJR guy is correct, on the 2005 Gen I forks, the tool referenced by FJRRed will not work. Like FJR Guy, I used my impact wrench to get the lower bolt out. Then I pulled the entire rod, spring, and piston assy out. Of course, the lower spacer came out as well. I replace both bushings, the seal, circlip and dust cover - no problem. Then, for the next 2 hours, I have been trying to get the spring/rod/piston assy back into the lower fork. If I eliminate the lower spacer, I can slip it in, and tighten it up with the lower bolt. But if I use the spacer (which of course I know I must), I simply cannot line up all of the parts to install the lower bolt. I could disassemble the piston from the rod, but after I install the piston, I have no idea how I can get the springs installed. I know I'm supposed to fill the fork without the springs in, but I have no idea how this will be possible. Any help would be appreciated - thanks. [/QUOTE]
