Fork disassembly questions

OK. Thanks G.
I can move it by tapping gently on a piece of soft pine. Probably grunge underneath. Have to be patient to keep it square to the tube.
Again - pen. oil and hot air, but that is for tomorrow.
What do you think about that spring length?

I got the ring off and cleaned without damage.
The chamfer was facing down. I would think it should face up to trap the snap ring ???

My manual gives an overall standard length of 407.0 with a repair limit of 396.0. Looks like you are fine.

My Honda service manual C/CS/CB 72/77. I checked it against a Clymer manual I had and it was identical.
