Base Valve OC forks.

Hey all,

Just a quick one. Any special trick to taking out the base valve on the 2020 OC fork? Plan on draining oil and using an electric impact to remove.

Developed a small knocking noise on big hits and I want to double check.

The 2020 fork doesn't require an electric impact to remove the base valve. Sachs, in a stroke of engineering genius, developed an elegant solution to hold the cartridge as you remove the compression tap.
