I show the process of how to rebuild an Answer Manitou 3 suspension fork. I bought this Diamondback Axis TR mountain bike a few years ago at an auction. The forks were dead. The elastomers were toast, and the forks easily bottomed out. I finally got around to overhauling it, and rebuilding it with new elastomers. I believe the process of rebuilding an Answer Manitou 4 fork is very similar.
