Front Fork Removal

 Getting down to the final parts of the rolling chassis dismantling now.  I needed to prop the frame up with an old gas canister in order to complete this task.  Loosen off the fork tops before undoing the T clamps.  Just makes it easier in the long run.  I started with the removal of the front wheel (this is why you need to have the bike propped up) but taking off the fork end caps.


 
 

 Only loosen these clamps after you have loosened off the fork caps.
 Then take off top T.

 And remove forks and bottom T in one go.
 Check upper steering head bearing . .

 I must keep my little Canada sticker.
