      ya I removed the damper oil as well when it was not necessary now have to re bleed it. only the seals needed to be changed. that damper takes a lot of effort to take the air out. gladly I did not remove the other damper. hope it goes well for u.

  • @missmymountain

    Great video.
    I'll add that it's a good idea to normalize, or relax, an o-ring after it's installed. With a small screwdriver or pick just place it under the o-ring and lift it out of the groove as if you were going to remove it. Then just roll the screwdriver or pick around the circumference of the groove to allow the o-ring to "unwind" and sit in a relaxed position.
    Also, the oil will wick up cardboard so the level is best checked with something a little more non-porous to get an accurate measurement.

  • @vanalstyne9834
    @vanalstyne9834 6 лет назад +1

    Good video. I just did mine and used 1000, 1500, then 2,000 grit paper (wet with fork oil) to smooth out the lower fork tube. Worked well. I really like the cardboard trick, I'm stealing it. Thanks Cameron.

It's forks were a heck of a lot easier then the ones in this video! I did have to make a special tool to get them apart though.

    Watching these suspension videos is definitely making me reconsider sending my forks and shock off to a local tuner here in California to get a re-valve . All the local guys around here got some high price tags though ...considering I get my correct shim stack and springs for my weight I’m considering doing the rest of the assembly..I’m curious if the results will be close to some of these suspension gurus around here

    Hey Cameron I just want to say thanks for the cr250 videos. I'm in the process of rebuilding my '01 and I've been watching your videos. After hitting some 100ft jumps last week my forks are dripping puddles after sitting for a week, so I ordered the exact hardware as you so I can watch your video and attempt to get the job done right and rip in the Oklahoma hare scramble in April . So thanks for the content man. These videos will come to good use through the season as I rebuild and replace!

  • @captainjohnh9405
    @captainjohnh9405 6 лет назад +1

    A better way to remove the damper bushing rather than buggering it up with a screw driver is to use circlip pliers. Initially a screwdriver or the like may be required to gain a bit more space to fit in the pliers. But once they are in, they will pry the ring open neatly since there won't be any sharp metal rubbing against the ring.
    Another option that is trickier and requires more hands is to use dental floss (especially the tape type). With a bit of fiddling, the floss can be worked inside the ring. Add a loop of floss to each side of the ring. If the split is 12 o'clock, the loops should be about 2 and 10; in some tougher jobs, adding a loop at 6 o'clock may be useful. Also, depending on how tight the ring is, several loops may be required to avoid breaking the floss.
    Remember, some of us have no choice but to reuse parts ;-)

    Quick tip for next time. run some aluminum oxide 220 sand paper on the fork tubes and create a cross hatch. It will take down any nics and helps reduce stiction from the seals. As for the damping rod, use some fine scotch bright pad with oil to smooth out the surface. It will be as smooth as a whistle.
