    Have a 94 honda steed 400, need to replace fork seals just had a quick glance at the nuts clamping the forks to the bike,
    One side is smooth and flat and counter sunk in them all, Just wondering if their are spleens on the inner side of these to stop them from turning when loosining and tightening,
    dont want to do harm then find their is a simple trick to get these out.
    Any advice would be great, thanks,

    Do you mean the triple clamps/fork braces? They are threaded to take the clamp bolts. Just loosen the bolts to release fork stanchions.

    Before you do - check if can drop the fork bottoms leaving the stanchions in place. (I'm not familiar with that model.) Check the bottom of the forks for a bolt securing the fork damping rod.

    Had a look at it, to be honest im just going to hold off for a few weeks and contact a man i know of that use to work at bikes in the past and see if he will supervise the job while i do the work, just to be certain i do it correctly,
    Just to be sure to be sure. thanks for the info,
