Description

This is a hand clamp tool to work on WP48 suspension without needing a vise. It's designed to be used on 60mm outer tubes so might fit other Mx or Enduro Forks too. Will certainly fit a lot of WP Forks out there as most of them share the same outer tube design. 
The tool is tight fitting on the lower portion of the outer leg, it will slide over the tube easily and can then be tightened by hand to clamp the tube firmly. I was able to loosen a seized and over tightened  top cap. If the fork tube is slipping after tightly tightening of the tool handle, then a thin adhesive tape like common transparent paper tape or even electrical tape (or thin duct-tape) will help.

If you want it to last, the tool is best printed in PETG so to use it's elasticity and it's excellent layer adhesion to your advantage. MIGHT work in PLA but it will certainly not be durable. PETG is working fine for long term use. I would not recommend CF or GF - loaded filaments as they would scratch your fork tube if the tube slips. The handle can be used for other works too of course.

To assembly you will need:

 

  • M8 1.25 pitch rod ( or a screw with removed head) ideally between 125mm and 135mm long (100mm would work if you need this ASAP and use a 100mm screw but be sure not to seat the rod all into the main body, you need 80mm protruding from the main body to work).
  • M8 nut (1x for the tool and maybe a second one to use wedged against the other during assembly so you can use a socket or wrench to drive the M8 rod into the main body).

The handle print has an integrated pause at layer 157 to insert the M8 nut, it's firmly integrated into the handle after. The M8 rod gives the handle the strength of a steel part so you can really put some load onto the handle.


The fork cap wrench is available on my profile too, just look at my designs or use THIS link.
