Taking my forks apart
Alright, i have everything out of my forks, but i was wondering how do i seperate the lower and upper tubes. I took off the dust seal, and the retaining clip, so i think all that is left is the oil seal. Does anyone know what i need to do next?

this is a shot of the bushings, does it look like they need to be replaced?? you can only see one spot were it is worn but does that matter?
http://img136.imagevenue.com/img.php?lo ... shings.jpg
also this is a picture of the pushrod, i think this is also a mid vavle. Do i take this off to make my forks more woods friendly?? Thanks for any help.
