'67 Hawk Front Fork Disassembly

[dagersh]

Hi Guys,

Tearing down my forks,as they were locked up and useless. So I have them all apart. In the lower fork leg, there is what looks to be a "plunger" where the M8 Allen Bolt threads into.

Here is my question... is this "plunger" supposed to be able to be removed from the lower leg? Mine does not move smoothly, and is still fouled by a lot of old grease. Also, should this plunger be attached to the upper fork assembly, or is it just a press fit?

Also, what is the seal size for these forks? I saw them in another post, but now I cannot find them, and the old seals are chewed up.... But I measure them at 43X33X10.

Thanks All!

Well, at least I figured out the Seal size:

43X33X9.1

Any insight as to how the Front Fork Pipe (#4 on schematic for Type II Later Fork) and the Piston (#3 on the same schematic) fit into the lower fork leg?

What is the purpose of the M8 Allen Bolt that is threaded into the bottom of the lower for leg?

Thanks!

You don't need to continue with the same question in 2 headings.
We get both every time as you can see when you look into the forum.
One will get you answers. ........lm
