Ok, so the other day I serviced my forks, new seals, washer and oil.
heres my problem...
On my LEFT fork, i loosened the Damper Cartridge Bolt on the bottom of the fork (10mm allen bolt). We determined AFTER i did it, that it was not totally necessary, since we didnt plan to take the damper cartridge out.
My problem is, I couldnt get it back tight, and now it is leaking oil. I have tried to loosen it more and remove the for damper cartridge, but it wont come out. I have tried EVERYTHING i can think of to loosen it OR tighten it and i'm getting NO WHERE. its like the damper cartridge is just free spinning in the lower fork tube and not doing anything.
Yes, i did read CAT3's writeup on the fork service, and did what he did trying to remove the damper cartridge bolt and cartridge but im getting no where.
HELP!!! Any suggestions on how to get this thing out of the tube or get it to grab so it can tighten back up? Now that it is so loose and leaking, im sure I will have to get a new copper washer for it, but i can't even get the bolt out to get to the copper washer!!
HELP PLEASE!!! im up all night til i get this figured out
