This hyper link Ultima Parts
is a PDF page that shows all the parts to a Ultima 41mm fork tube Bullet Style assembly for a softail.
Even though I have a HD service manual to follow for taking the sliders and fork tubes apart. Using this manual has left me with some questions.
On the bottom of the fork slider there is a socket head bolt known as the damper screw and crush washer 27-212. The manual says to remove it. It will not come out! The bolt is screwed into the damper and using a pneumatic wrench the damper is now loose. I have taken the damper out of the tube. But the socket head bolt remains in the base of the slider. It spins freely but wont come out. Im thinking that the lower stop pt#(OEM 45834-77) 27-171 is keeping it from coming out. Further on in the instructions it says to use the slider (lower fork tube) just like a slide hammer to knock the tube and the slider apart. However there's no mention about removing the dust cover pt#27-234. This is attached to the top of the slider and houses the fork tube. Im wondering if this has to be removed in order for the tube to slide out of the slider. If it does. There's no knurled grip to it. Its all polished chrome and I dont want to scratch or mess it up. I dont know if it screws on or if its pressed on.
Anybody ever take one of this style apart? The tubes in this assembly are 2"over stock and I have new stock length tubes I want to put in.
