Getting the top yoke (triple) nut off.
« on: June 12, 2007, 04:46:11 PM »
Ive won a set of b400 (uk spec) forks and yokes (triples) on ebay.

The seller is delayed in posting them as he cant get the top yoke nut off.  Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Awwww, man..... now that was too easy.  :duh:

Although with the bars resting on the stem I prefer not too get too radical with twisting things around but nevertheless that's a great suggestion.   :thanks:
