I have a 26 Factory Edition landing here in New Zealand in approx. one month.
For a basic oil change service, not to mention a likely spring rate change, can someone please advise what tools I need?
I haven't needed fork tools since moving to air forks a few years ago...
I'm not sure what tools you already have but you will want:
WP fork cap wrench
48mm fork seal driver
Various vice soft jaws
Fork compression tool for cone valves (Race Tech makes the only one I'm aware of)
Race Tech Compression tool
This kit from Rocky Mount has most of the other tools you'll need, but the included compression tool will not work on the cone valves.
Tusk Fork tool kit
I purchased the Race Tech Compression tool listed above, but would purchase from this guy if I'd seen it in time:
WP Cone Valve/ 6500 Finger Clicker compatible compression cap socket – DejaMoto
If you need the other tools, this might be a good deal as well:
DejaMoto WP 48mm Cone Valve fork service bundle
Another option

You will also need the wrench for the big red preload adjustment nut on the cap. Not sure if they will include it with the bike like they do when buying the forks or 6500's.
