How do I remove my fork? There are countless threads on this sub on this so I’m sorry to make another, but I couldn’t figure it out using the other threads that I could find. Any help is welcome! 🙂
Hold the fork, tap the top lightly with a rubber mallet. Doesn’t look like the compression ring is in there still, but if there is one I can’t see:
Hold fork, tap lightly on top of the steerer till it moves a bit, then push fork up, then slide off compression ring, then the fork should drop out easily. Use light tapping with a rubber mallet if it does not.
If you experience significant resistance, do not resort to hitting it harder. At that point you may need ton add some penetrating oil to the top and bottom bearings as you may have corrosion bonding the fork to the bearing and bearing to the frame.
