Which model are you working on--the cars with the 356 are quite different from the 110 and 120? Also, what is your reason to take the fork out? Ross Posted on: 2012/6/11 11:48

I don't know a way that I can place the bearing on one side of the fork and attach the spring to the housing on the other side Posted on: 2012/6/11 12:04

After the trans is in hook the spring up with a long pair of neddle nose pliers. Saltydog Posted on: 2012/6/11 14:13
