Don't start with the jokes, yes it's ancient.
It needs a rebuild but I can't get the dam thing apart.
Really strange issue.
Here is what I think happened. While riding the dam for sunk down like it lost all pressure but quite the opposite happened. I thing all the air pressure in the right leg managed to slip past all the seals and into the damping cartridge. With all the pressure in both positive and neg chambers released, top caps off and all bottom retaining bolts removed it will not slide apart. It has a negative air presur insid that prevents it from coming apart. I can put the steerer in a repair stand and literally hang my body from it and it only moved an inch and pops right back when I let go.
Ideals anyone???????????
