Honda CR fork caps
How the #@%& do you get the fork cap off the 77 CR 125 ? It has a cap that will push down about 1/4 in to barely expose a spring clip that has no bend or resess to get an awl behind it. I can not hold down the cap with one hand and try to work under the clip. A tool like the CZ clutch pin tool would help with the leverage. Anyone have the proper technique or do I have to break down and ask my wife to hold it down?

Ask her Paul!! My kids are experts at pulling the retaining rings while I compress the springs on an old set of Curnutts that need reservicing almost every time I ride them.

an awl is too fat. you have to use a pick. BITD I would use a t-handle to push down and then reach in with the pick and just dig it out, piece of cake. Always did it by myself.

Then come on over and bake for me!! I have the Stainless dental picks and am about to go Marathon Man on these caps. I have a T phillips that fits the caps little center recess but can not hold it down and dig the clip out. I can't seem to get over or under the clip. I remember some Goki design idiots had air caps that once installed made it impossible to reach the clip.
I hate being weak.

Mr. KIA, Let me assist. The neutral-ectomy is properly performed by twisting and then pulling sharply up on the Sachs-engined device's gas cap making sure to carefully toss the remaining motorcycle in a garbage can and sliding an Elsinore in its p...
