33.4 front end retaining ring and washer

Postby ptownchoppers » Fri Mar 01, 2019 6:02 pm

so i just picked up a 33.4 MM front end it had obviously been taken apart previously I got all the seals needed to rebuild it but when i started dissasembling it to clean up and put it back together had noticed there wasnt anything holding the lower legs to the fork tubes such as a retaing ring and retaing washer as i had exsperienced with the 39 and 41 MM front ends I have done in the past. Am I missing something, what holds the lower legs and fork tubes from coming apart when assembled. any info, any photos whould be helpfull
THANKS

so when you service the front break or tire that nut holds the sliders from seperating from the fork tubes
