Racetech has a really handy tool just for the job and it works well .. Only other thing you'll need to go with it is a vice to hold the tool + fork while servicing .. http://www.racetech.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=9&subcat=19&cat=Fork+Spring+Compressor&showPage=street _________________ "Fear is the path to the dark side.
