FireHead Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 If I remeber correctly I always just grabbed the thing with a big pair of channel lock pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Sometimes you can take a flat-head screwdriver and put it in one of the V's of the nut and smack it with a hammer and get it to bust loose. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodro77 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 i bought a tool to do it , i got the tool from my local honda dealer , it was made to take apart dirtbike forks but it the same size for the steering stem bearings , its hex on 1 side and a 3/8 drive fits into the other , i put it on my impact gun and they come right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe22883 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 What the hell, i popped both the seals out and found a big ass rusty hex that needs to be removed. How can i get that thing out???? Not sure if you got the bolt out yet but i just had the same problem when removing mine to get my frame powdercoated.Here is what the banshee manual says : A 30mm hex driver will be required to remove and install or you could use the Yamaha fork damper rod holder (part No. YM-01327) along with a ratchet extension or you can make a tool with a 30mm bolt or nut. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregbowler Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 It's a 3/4" bolt not 1 1/8. The head of a 3/4" bolt is 1 1/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
