Right, those speedy chaps at MB have sent me new fork links, rods,balls, springs and bumpers.
In theary shouldn`t I be able to compress the old links and springs and poke out the lower buffers with a screwdriver?
Those buggers arn`t shifting.
Tips appreciated as its doing my head in.

I used a small Jack strop to hold up the links. Job done.
