Mike at Walridge may have the goods, too, but Steve is the AMC specialist.
The biggest hassle is sliding the forks back in the the triple clamps, as you have to compress the fork springs. The ideal setup is to use the tool that threads into the fork tube and draws the tube into the triple clamp, but you'll figure something out ;-)

I'll loan it to you when you're ready if you can't make or find something that will work. You don't really need it as a real puller where you would crank it down hard. You just need something that will screw into the fork leg from the top so you can yank up on it with your hands. PM me. (I don't remember the internal thread size of the 1-1/4" forks and I don't have my G80CS anymore so if you can measure the size I won't have to send all of the adapters.) I think it was 26tpi. I may have a rusty fork top nut but I have to search for that. Russ
Motorrad said:Howdy gentlemen. Glad to be on the site. Im in the middle of restoring my P11 based cafe racer, (bike was built in a race shop in the late 60's in long beach CA). Lots of nifty parts on it.I am currently working on the forks. and ran into a problem.Im not sure what I have, I know they are Teledraulic matchless but (all the desognations of "road vs offroad" I have read refer to things like seats and fenders to determine which forks you have. None of that is original on this bike. To make matters worse, I have picked up a few sets of forks at the local swap meets to use for parts. And now they are all mixed up (project got side burnered for a few years), and I dont know which parts to use.The first one I have a question about is the damper rods. It appears I have 2 differant versions. Which is which?Pictures below. of the differances between the two types I have. Edit, cant seem to make pictures work, so I direct linked them

These parts in green look like what I need - seals, rubber pieces, leather pieces, fiber washer, plastic bush, etc.
anyone complete this Teledraulic refresh task recently?

Hi.
I don't understand how the cover tube (item n. 16) is fixed to the bottom of the lower yoke.
Please, let me know.
Thank you.
