Bruce and Ray, "ouch" already left a big hand print on my forehead, the
drain screws are right there, where you said they'd be! They are slotted
and Guzziology indicates allen head. Anyway, know where they are now. And
thanks Ray for the pics, helps even more and as you can see I need help! Bob

Bob,
The drain bolt/screw points downward and is down there by the pinch
bolt. The head of the bolt/screw is pretty big and is not recessed. You'll
slap your forehead once you see it...;-}

Paul, Bruce and Ray, Thanks, that is even more helpful. Those little
details about taking down the forks are necessary for me. BTW, I just
checked and I can't see, or feel, the drain plug at the end of the fork
legs. I just see the pinch bolt at the very bottom of the forks. Bob

There is also a drain screw at the bottom of each fork leg. Remove this so
you can flush the leg out properly. You will need a fiber washer for it on
reassembly. You will also need the correct tool or a home made one to pull
the tube back up into the trees on reassembly.
