fork oil leak

[cayuse]

I see what you mean.
First, though, I have to somehow secure the rod so it doesn't turn.
Do you remember what this damper rod looks like once it's out? There's supposed to be a damper rod "ring" near the top. I'm wondering if I jam something down there like a broomstick and hold it there under pressure with a pipe clamp, will I be damaging this ring? If it's only spring pressure that's supposed to stop this rod from spinning so you can tighten up the bolt during re-assembly I'm starting to think the last guy put this together with loc-tite. :??:
It's maddening to get this close on a relatively simple job and have to give it up to the local MC shop. :mad:
