Replace a mountain bike front fork for older MTBs

 by exabopper

Step 3: Remove the cantilevers

Using an Allen key, undo the cap-screw that holds the first cantilever on the fork. Pull the cantilever off of the fork, making sure to remove the spring and any washers at the same time.

After I took it off, I used a piece of tape to attach the canti, screw, spring, and washers together (so nothing was lost) and set it aside. When removing the cantilever that's still attached to the brake cable, make sure that none of the cable parts are lost, but it isn't necessary to remove the cable (yet) - you can just let the canti dangle from the brake lever and handlebars.
