Help with Bonanza

[sdhardwater]

Ive searched and searched and can not figure out how to remove the lower forks from a bonanza. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

What model? If it's a BC series, there should be a bolt near the triple tree (top of fork tube). Remove it and the lower leg should pull out. Are the free now meaning the suspension moves? If so, you may get lucky pulling them out. If they are frozen/stuck, you'll have to soak them with WD40 or PB Blaster first.

If after removing the bolts, soaking in lubricant and still not moving. A 5 foot section of old flexible sewer drain snake line may help. Feed the line down through the handlebars until you reach the plug and then hit it with a hammer. Plumbers replace there snake lines once in a while and may have a scrap piece. If you can get your hands on a 5 foot section of three-quarter inch it will work perfect.

I'm not sure what model it is and I can't seem to figure out how to post pictures. There are holes in the top forks that maybe should have bolts in them. I'll try the snake method. Thanks a bunch guys.
