[QUOTE="FJRay, post: 1408091, member: 312"] I'm attempting to get a 06 fork assy. apart. I didn't need to take it apart to do what needs to be done but I got as far as getting the inner bushing loose before I realized it. The upper bushing and seal won't let go. Yes I removed the snap ring and have read the FSM . I've been working at it for about an hour and my wrists are shot from the pounding. it feels like the inner bushing is trying to slide inside the upper one and cause the bind. Any good tricks out there??? I considered explosives but I really want to reuse the forks. I don't understand the purpose of the second bushing as the Gen 1 forks work just fine with a single bushing in the tube. Any reasonable ideas are welcome. I suppose I could just let it rattle around in there but I don't want to sell it that way. [/QUOTE]
