CARTRIDGE DISASSEMBLY

When the inside components of the external arm have been removed, the plastic pipe of the hydraulic blockage
must be unscrewed from the cartridge tube Fig. 17-11. So as not to damage any components during this
operation, the cartridge tube must be tightened in a clamp using special tightening blocks WP, at the level of the
pressurising piston in the lower tube. (Fig. 17-11).
When the plastic tube has been unscrewed, it will be possible to extract the stem with the extension piston from
the cartridge tube.
Around the extension piston there is an elastic ring Fig. 17-12,that should be substituted in case it should get
damaged.

OIL DRAINING

Let the cartridge slip down into the fork arm and drain
the oil in an appropriate can or container Fig. 17-08.
- Clamp the leg and tighten it so that the fork arm is
slanting at about 45° Fig. 17-09. Clean the screw
which is below the fork and unscrew it Fig. 17-09.
- After having unscrewed the lower M8 screw it will
be possible to extract the whole cartridge from the
fork Fig.17-10. If the cartridge is blocked, screw
again the M8 screw which is mounted under the lower
leg and hit the screw head gently until the cartridge is
unblocked.
- Turn the fork upside down on the container, so that
all the oil comes out.
