[QUOTE="mshrout, post: 1447925, member: 98055"] I believe these are KYB 48MM conventional forks, easy easy stuff. what RossKean stated above. make sure the seal snap ring is removed and the bottom dampening rod bolt is removed and slid hammer them apart. yes, the bushings will lodge themselves into each other and the fork halves will get “stuck”, as he (RossKean) mentioned, a piece of wood and a rubber mallet whack should dislodge the fork halves back and you can try again to seperate the halves. they will come apart, trust me. new bushings and seals will be needed afterwords of course. sometimes it takes a little persuasion (force) to seperate the forks. good luck and keep us posted.
