Hello all, this is my first post here. I'm currently in the process of disassembling my forks. I've run into an issue when trying to remove the springs. The spring retainer on top has some rust on it and is stuck. The circlip is removed, but the retainer is stuck inside. I sprayed some wd-40 and tried moving it, it moves very slightly. I did find a video where someone had the same issue. They ended up drilling the retainer, turning a screw into it and using a slide hammer to remove it. I'd rather not damage it. Anyone have tips or experience with this? Thanks
