Likely.
Buying off the bay IS like a box of chocolates...
What you need is a setup like I have lying around! An MX-Tech/Wilkey tuned set of KDX forks, complete with triples, front wheel, axle, spacer, even the ODO!
But, they aren't for sale.
Point is, I know they work, they have been maintained properly, the suspension part of 'em is perfect. Find a set like THAT and you would be far ahead of messing with stripped, goobered base valves/cartridges.

You like to argue alot, 'eh?
I'm telling you you don't know if they are fine or not. They aren't out yet!!.
Again...if there wasn't some sort of problem the base valve would not be 'stuck' 1/2 way out.
Nev'r mind..
Where's that unsubscribe button.....
Oh yeah........

Only easy if you can actually find a metric nut in that size!KDX220PHIL wrote:Well Ryan, if they do not get/have the tool, make one. This one is easier than the fork oil tool. It will cost you peanuts and best of all give you the satisfaction of a job done properly and a little more experience to put under your belt.
I looked all over town and could not find one and ended up making one from a SAE nut that was perty close but did not worky, nut was too soft
So I ordered one from FRP. So I have the "tool" if anyone ever needs to borrow it. Just pay fer shipping!

This nut worked for me:
http://www.mcmastercarr.com 91030A035
Instructions for the tool are at http://www.justkdx.dirtrider.net - tech tips - specialty tools
This nut is for 5/8-11 thread, so I think I drilled it out to 5/8.

What freakin' tool are you talking about? The cartridge holding tool, the valve tool or the rod tool?
The cartridge holding tool will have to be ordered unless you can make one.... they are everywhere. The valve tool is a 14mm allen head...and the rod tool.... I have one for sale if you need one....

Apologies for digging up an old thread. Anyone know where I can get a pre-made KYB / Kayaba fork tool? I'm showing that 57001-1245 HOLDER,FORK CYLINDER is NLA.
Anyone have an old one laying around you could stand with selling or even renting?

The one from www.frpoffroad.com is even better than the OEM tool. I have both.
If you are local, you are welcome to come over.
