I am elbow-deep in the restoration of a Royal Enfield that we believe has been patched together from different years. It's a Bullet 500, with a 535cc bore kit, and is listed on our title as a '66 model, but apparently they did not make 500cc Bullets in '66... anyway, we are trying to do a complete restoration, including refinishing the frame, but we cannot do this without disassembling the front fork completely. We're trying to figure out how to remove the fork tubes from the headlamp casing, without crushing or mangling any surface that may require a seal in the future when we put it back together.
Any tips? We have a manual from the original dealer, but it is a tad confusing. Any help is appreciated!
