im changing out stock hd springs puttin in progressive springs
got all apart except the tube it self, do you take a screwdriver and open it up or is there a tool?
fyi pulled the 12 mm allen fromn underneath got the 2nd spring out& piece that hold tube n fork together, there is somethin else in there & i have a seal to install.
thanks

Not sure if the rocker is the same, but I carefully pried the dust boot off with a small screwdriver, remove the retaining spring clip underneath it, and with the bottom damper bolt removed, use the tube as a slide hammer to pull the seal free. Everything should then come apart. Again, this was on my softie, and I know those rockers are slightly different.

You da man! goin to try that now.

 

yes there is a clip that retains the seal in place..

 

ok i got the dust cover off, ( small punch& rubber mallet)
then you take a flat head screwdriver and carefully take out funky o ring
