How to you get the springs out of 03 636 forks? I got the forks apart and got my seals replaced but I cant figure out how to get the spring off it because I just got a set of hyperpro springs to replace my factory springs. Thanks alot

did u ever get ur spring off the rear shock

03zx6rrNICK

no i gotta go get a spring compressor to do it

scandelous81

I buy a spring compressor from sears and then just return it when im done ever time i need one.

03zx6rrNICK

will that take the front forks apart also?

scandelous81

no, front springs can be compressed by hand, theres a special tool we have at the bike shop to get them apart, its a clip that you slide in to them after you compress them, when installed it keeps them compressed so you can loosen the nut that holds them together.

well can you post up a pic bro

scandelous81

Dont have any, if the techs at work have a fork seal job on monday ill take a pic

ok cool thanks man. I just ran to the local auto zone and got a spring compressor but they are to big and wont fit into the spring gap to get a bite to cmpress

scandelous81

ya i remember that happening on my dirt bike shock, did u try to tighten the spring down as far as it will go and putting a bunch of hose clamps or heavey duty zipties around as many coils as you can and then try to taking it off. if not ill ask the techs on monday

I don't know what size it looks like because i'm not around my bike. But if it's the same size as the swingarm nut on the frame, then that one is a 24mm
