I spent the weekend changing the front fork springs. I am using progressive springs replacement. I did the left side and it went fairly well. I then did the right and ran into a problem tightening the top nut. It stopped about 4mm from being flush to the plate. This left the legs uneven buy the same amount. I tried loosening the nut several time but no go. It goes in but takes effort. The left side goes in easily by comparison. I then took the left side apart and ran the RIGHT side nut into the LEFT fork. It WENT IN SMOOTH AND EASY . So some how I messed up the threads in the RIGHT fork. I need to buy a tap or at least a thread chaser. Does anyone know the specification? Any one else mess up like I did. any advice appreciated.
WHEN i POSTED THIS LAST , i GOT LFT AND RT MIXED UP IN MY DESCRIPTION. i HAVE CORRECTED IT ABOVE. iT IS THE RT FORK TUBE TOP THREADS THAT ARE MESSED UP.
