[Rrawlings]

An update and some photos from the rebuild.

I stripped the forks last week and changed the oil following the instructions in the workshop manual kindly sent to me by Luddite. Along the way some details were different inside my forks compared to the manual. The oil quantity of 480ml per leg gave me an air gap of only 70mm so I compared the amount of oil with what came out and to achieve the 104mm air gap had to remove roughly 65ml of oil using a depth gauge with some pipe attached to it and a syringe. The manual also mentioned a bush (item 20 in photo below) which did not exist in my forks. They appear to have never been apart as each part had paint dots from the factory from I presume when they were torqued up. I also made a tool to pump the cartridge, this was a piece of tubing with an M12 nut tacked on the end to allow me to do this and saved me the £50 I was quoted by Ducati for the tool.

Overall not a difficult job. If anyone wants any more info on how it is done I'm happy to help
