Thanks for that Paul, first time I mentioned it on here there was gnashing & moaning..like how much time are you saving, not hard to pull forks etc..
Rusty stock forks can take time to re& re and clean why pull em if not needed.. Too bad it wont work on all models.. Cleaning.. run a rag thru the tube with a broomstick..
If bike is new to you though, I recommend full dissasembly if only to check tubes to see if they are straight, and fix if they are not..
BTW, I never have trouble with the nuts. First, weight off the forks.. second to install I use a 1/2 drive ratcheyt with 6 or 4 inch extension.. then lean onto/into the ratchet and nut to compress it, while turning it....easy..
