De-Painting Inside of Yokes

The powder coating had to be taken off the inside of the fork yokes or Ts.


  

 Fork stanchions slide in quite nicely now.

 Be careful not to hit any outer surfaces with that abrasive.
 

And BEFORE you test putting in the stanchions, clean out all the grit so the stanchions do not get scratched.

 Then I need to work out if the flat section, where the bearing will rest, needs to be cleaned up too.  My surface here is quite lumpy.  I don't think this is paint build up but it could be and there is also a washer that should cover it up.  I don't want it to settle at a later date forcing me to do another head adjustment.
