The nut at the bottom of the lowers is in a hole. It extends above the hole, but that part is round. There isn't enough clearance for a standard socket. Is there some special socket to remove it?
Pat, dont waste your money on the Marzocchi socket, go down to your local Autoparts store, buy a cheap ass 12 1/4 in drive socket, grind down the outside a bit and there you go. Like Sanjuro said, you will probably need to grind the Marz socket a bit anyways. I have two of them down at the shop ready to go, even the Tech guy from Marzocchi told me to do this.
Yeah thats what it was, want to hear something more fun..... My top caps on the 66 use a cassette tool!!!
And no, the designer wasnt hi.... well maybe he was..... But there are sockets out there that will fit, The matco truck has a set of Super thingwall sockets, and the 12mm is about 50 bucks. And the one I ground down was about two and a half
Ha, I was having issues like that tonight. The sealiong oring was sticking to teh cartridge!!!! I got lucky with mine though, Mine is an ETA fork, so I locked it down before I took the rebound/compression side apart.
Oh, and on this fork they were smart enough to go away from that damn recessed nutt deal!!!!
