Front dampers

Post by ronnie »

How do we drain the oil in the front dampers Do you remove only the top bolt or the six screws on the top plate of the damper :-?

The drain nut is the lowest,single nut,towards the engine bay,the single nut on top is to fill the Damper. Check posts on dampers from earlier today :D

Just carefully remove the valve assembly in the base - and take the fill screw out. Don't lose any of the valve parts - and watch out for the old fish stinky oil!
