Rebel Sport Bikes Front suspension

[rognik39]

Hi Guys
Having some trouble with a front suspension on my son's bike. It's a rebel sport entry level bike Nitro Traverse 650B with HLcorp Zoom front forks.
It appears that they are not able to be disassembled either that or I just can't figure it out. The first problem is that the lockout lever isn't held in place by a screw but may have been pressed into place and didn't want to break it trying to lever it off.
The next problem is that there are no lower screws accessible from the axle end but what appears to be the threaded end of a long bolt which may go to the top
if anyone can confirm this or give me some pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Throw some photos up.

If you could post a photo or two, that might help us a bit. A written description is too open to individual perceptions of what you are describing.
It's not going to be a piece of equipment commonly discussed on here, but there are always people here with bits of knowledge and experience that may be able to suggest something.

Cheers

Here's their website.

Maybe throw them an email requesting a service manual.

I went to the fork manufacturer's website and found some maintenance downloads... lots of pics and instructions for a fork tear-down. http://bike.us.hlcorp.com/service/download/

How old is the bike? If it's within warranty I'd be contacting the place of purchase.

That looks like a blown fork from the oil everywhere in picture 2. Might cost more to service then to get a new fork.

There as alot of oil there as per @Oddjob 's reply. Might be worth taking it back for a replacement.
Also with photos, if your struggling on a focus point, put a tiny bit of tape on there and your phone will pick that up for focus. Helps for those pics of smaller parts.

I got 99 forks but that aint one. Cheapest fork I got at the moment is a 170mm X-fusion coil Vengeance. Probably a bit too much fork for that bike.

I wouldn't be buying the same fork again if these ones are munted!

I agree but when do you not spec up a bike vs buying a new bike.
From what I could find, these Rebel sport bikes were on sale 2 years ago for ~$300. Maybe a set of forks could be a cheap fix.
