Nope, just you. ---Never rebuilt any big-bike cartridge forks, have we? LoL.
Just kidding you a bit...personally I did not see anything that scared/confused me; I was actually quite relieved to see how well made/engineered that they appear to be, esp for Chinese forks, for pete's sake. Don't fear it; it's like rebuilding an automatic automobile tranny or a 1,000pc jigsaw puzzle: pretty simple, just a lot of small steps. The only "specialty tool" that I see that you will need on them is the usual: a $40 electric impact gun from Harbor Freight.
The good news about these AS01 forks is that they are true, cartridge-style forks, and also that we can revalve them via the "real" basevalve in these things. Yee-haw!
FYI, 7:40 appears to be just the removal of a snap-ring, which are indeed a real beach when down inside a cylinder, and I do not mean a sunny one.
The REAL issue is, why did he not have the correct tool??
Of course, China is all about "git'n 'er done"...8>]
Medina: so what IS the fork leg oil CAPACITY, and what WEIGHT is in there, stock? It appears that they swapped out for ATF, but what did they start out with?
