Fork removal without disconnecting brake lines on a CB750???
« on: April 14, 2008, 10:44:12 AM »
Maybe this would over complicate things (or maybe its just a stupid idea) but I'm trying to decide if I can remove my forks without disconnecting any of the brake line connections.  Just trying to save the trouble of losing the brake fluid and bleeding the brakes.
Thanks,
Mark

You probably could.  Just remove the tire and then the brake light switch ( if you have one) and then remove the master cylinder.  It will be alot of extra crap hanging out but it should work.

Remove the caliper from the fork (2 screws) and pull the assembly away from the wheel.  You can then remove the wheel and fork without opening the brake lines.
