[QUOTE=RohIIT;959593]Finally i bought 19-18 ring spanner ( i didnt have money to buy TAPARIA adjustable wrench it was 300/-
).
An adjustable spanner gives you adjustable size upto 35mm. So instead of having several spanner, having only that one is a good idea. On the other side if u look, it has 17 mm ring type shape. You can also remove your Axel with that. Jalani is also good to buy, that will cost a lot less than Taparia. I think getting that exchange for 19-18 ring spanner will be a good idea. bcoz 18-19 will not be usable anywhere except opening top fork bolt, which can also be open via adjustable.
After this came back home and started dis-assembling shocks and i disaster stuck after i removed shock from bike . To remove fork cap , a adjustable spanner is required . now i was very disappointed as i should have bought it from hardware store .
So get replace for that.
Now next step was to remove piston , Here i got stuck completely . I tried to open it using 6mm allen key but it didnt even turn single bit , i used loads of force but didnt open , Went back to computer and i saw paul had made a piston remover tool , Now i understood that i dont have any chance to open it. So i poured diesel again and cleaned it as much as i can .
I've mentioned everything in very detail. I thought u might have seen that. It is clearly visible. Even shoeb had posted his picture of Piston remover tool. You should have read everything before opening. But no problem make that one and re-open it.
Poured in new oil , but wait it was 175ml right ? . So i went to pharma store and bought a 20ml syringe and took out 15ml from bottle so that it is 160ml now.
Not so accurate. If it is written 175ml it doesn't mean it is accurately 175ml. When i bought veedol there was difference in quantity in both the containers. So best thing is to buy a measuring funnel. I told u in PM. That will give u accurate measurement of oil in the both the shocks. And satisfaction also.
Assembled back all parts and again due to my absent mindness i fit shocks in opposite sides . Again undid #13 bolt and fitted them correctly.
No problem it happens with newbies
Greased bolt nuts and every sliding component and checked everything for tightness.
Now comes the doubt area . When i was pumping the shocks when i pumped it completely downward and tried to pull it back it required much force. The movement was not very smooth and it didnt feel that new oil is doing any good lubrication. When i drove and checked shocks , they dont have any improvement . Did i do something wrong somewhere ?? . The oil seals i bought are not used as i could`nt open piston .
That may require cleaning from inside. You can only know when its removed completely. Yes u dont see any improvement until and unless u remove them completely and do it nicely. Checking fork pipe if they are straight.
Now my next diy will be carb and head cleaning . I managed to get 8,10# T spanner by Jhalani .
I want you to hold down here with head cleaning. You can do your carb cleaning and i want you to complete your fork work first nicely. No matter if u had u open again but do it. No matter if u do mistake, learn from them and move it. Use the same oil but do it again. Every one do mistake here, do u think sibun shoeb doesn't do mistake? Even they had also done, i had also done mistakes and shared that, but have also learn from them. You don't even know that i had opened my fork 3 times! Yes 3 times because i was messing up with bent pipes.

Yes i had that in mind but when i saw 27# ring it was so big i didnt know where it would fit . i apologize for ignoring your words. Let me suggest you one thing.... When u move for any DIY try to collect max possible information about it. First clear all your doubts here then move on. There was such a nice fork DIY and you didn't knew that piston remover tool is required. Funnel is required.
So first ask every bit of here, no matter whatever is in your mind. Ask first. My words may hurt you but im telling for your benefit, never go for DIY with lots of "???????" question marks in you head.
Yes i tried to open it with 6mm allen and a ring spanner as paul showed but mine was requiring very high force and after it slipped i stopped trying as it would damge nut egdes.
Mine bolt was also very tight. It was so tight that Allen key got extremely bent and it thought it will break. So without worrying breaking my allen key it applied full force and the bolt opened. See how i have used adjustable spanner to get hold in the base of fork.
And it is not actually slipped, your bolt is loosen and the piston inside fork was rotating and u thought it slipped. So u need to hold that piston with piston remover tool to release out the bolt completely.
Is it 10cm or 10 mm ? like you did just like that i will make a T tool. Oh yes i will try again and again to gain perfection. People like you drive us noobies ahead
its 10mm, yes make a tool soon and do it again.
