there is a tube coming from the pump which end under the top of the frame. ventilation?

her is the gas pump as well as the ribbon which holds the absorber cylinder

after detaching the lower suspension levers you can remove the bolt at the lower end of the spring and then at the upper end. The spring finds a way out to the bottom together with the absorber. Note: the weight of the spring should better not be held by the tube while trying to pass the absorber through the narrow space.

first take off the caps which cover the axle of the rear suspension. The material tends to break when old. It should be renewed. Then remove nut from bolt and drive bolt to the left with hammer and sting

the slide for the chain shows severe wear. Should be replaced.
