Hello,
I have an old SYM 125cc scooter (air cooled).
One of the front suspensions is leaking.
I got a new oil seal with the same measurements, but i need help with
how to disassemble the suspension so i can replace the oil seal and put some new oil.
This is a picture of the top of the suspension.
There is a black cap on top, which i was able to remove.
This is a picture of how it looks like under the black cap.
From what i understand this is a metal cap which i need to push down,
and then there supposed to be a clip which i need to remove, so i can take out the metal cap.
I actually can't see a clip there, but as you can see there is rust in there.
I tried to push it down, but it's not really moving down, instead the all fork is moving down.
Should i try to spray the rust with some WD-40 and let it penetrate for a while?
Is there a video or a guide on how to rebuild this type of front suspension?
Thank you for any help.
