(5) Remove front mudguard (par. [104]).
(6) Remove spring fork right and left side rocker plate studs. NOTE: Leave rigid fork rocker studs, with rockers, attached.

c. Install Spring Fork.
(1) Place buffer springs and lower cushion springs on fork rods. Apply grease to rods. Pass fork rods up through rigid fork bracket. Bind lower end of spring fork to lower end of rigid fork with a strap or piece of heavy wire ([fig. 64]), to prevent forks from separating while compressing cushion springs.
(2) Install two bolts in the rigid fork brackets which mount the mudguard; then place a rod about 8 inches long on the brackets to provide a pry base for the leverage bar when compressing cushion springs ([fig. 64]). With a leverage bar about 18 inches long, anchored on top of the pry base rod and under the spring fork, lift upward to compress cushion springs sufficiently to install one of the rocker plates. Then install the other rocker plate ([fig. 64]). NOTE: Left side spring fork rocker plate stud has a button end which fits into notch in brake stabilizer plate.
(3) Install mudguard (par. [104]).
(4) Install front wheel (par. [125]).
(5) Install the two spring rod bushings. Install upper bumper springs and upper recoil springs on the fork rods, applying grease to rods.
