If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

There is a bolt at the bottom of the legs. If you mount the fork in a vise (by caliper mounts with wood on each side) and compress the fork you should be able to remove the bolts.
Here are 2 pages from the "book"
Hope this helps

Have removed all bolts, to remove slider from fork tube. Guess it's hanging up on items 9 + 15.
The picture will be great for re-assembly and torque values.
Gerry, thanks for reply.

Likely. My 1100E fork will not come apart without pulling the seal and upper bushing out of the slider. The lower bushing will not clear the upper bushing, so it pushes it out as you draw out the inner leg from the slider. I just used the inner tube like a slide hammer to tap out the seal and then it all comes apart from there.

Thanks Mark,
Tubes came apart as you said. Amazing how much water and dirt soiled what little fork oil was left inside.
Only uncertainty was position of cap on end of damper rod where screw fastens to slider. Drawings of the fork assembly were not clear, so assumed flat/wavy washers went on first and then cap with big end down, facing the wheel axle.
cheers
