Answer Manitou 1 Fork Rebuild/Overhaul

I show how to tear down and rebuild a Answer Manitou 1 fork.
I picked up this Marin mountain bike cheap because the fork was dead (bottomed out). The elastomers were toast. I ordered a rebuild kit for about $60. As I disassembled the fork, I found the old elastomers had turned to goo, and solidified inside. I warmed up the fork to turn them back to goo, and was able to pull them apart. I used heat to remove a lot of the elastomer goo, and cleaned up the rest of it with acetone. Once I got the elastomer goo cleaned up, then rest was pretty easy.
