Since my old-school fork was no longer supported with new parts, I am doing a complete swap-out for a new-style fork and disc brake.
The fork legs I have are capped by the shouldered-style top; see attached pic. However, the lower end of the fork main tubes don't have the screw-off valve body which lets you pull the spring, etc., down out of the bottom of the tube.
Seems to be a newer setup like the C5 fork that Ducati Scotty did such a great write-up on, where the guts have to come out of the top of the main tube.
No problem in theory, but does anyone know exactly how the fork caps unscrew? Looks like they have wrench flats, but are they right- or left-hand threaded? Or is there something else I'm missing? Is there a good way to keep the fork tube stationary while trying to torque off that top cap?
Before I go trying to hard to take something off, some intel would be ideal... Thanks.
