I got into a little accident and ran into a curb. It made my front fender rub against the body so I assumed it was a bent fork. I am now disassembling the front end to see any problems. But the lower bearing cover is prohibiting me from dropping the fork out. It is making the fork not fit through the hole. I've found nothing about this problem online and it's really bugging me. It only needs to be moved over less than a inch for the fork to drop out. Any ideas I miss my scooter.

I'm going to assume that your Speedo cable and brake line are disconnected.

From there you need more height on the body to angle the fork out.

Remove the wheel and several blocks of wood should get you there.
