Im in the middle of trying to do my fork seals, ive got one fork leg done correctly i think but the second is been a get, i couldnt remove the allen bolt from the bottom of the leg as its spinning so in order i had to take off the top cap to get in to hold the other allen bolt on the other end, i havnt got it sorted yet but am gonna tackle it at the weekend, only thing when i took the cap off the spring shot across the yard with everything else attached to it lol, how do i get the spring back in and the cap on afterwards as it seems hellish tight to push down.

Cheers Phil

It's supposed to be, that's what creates the bounce. I had to get the help of a friend to sort mine out. By the way, you are supposed to use a special tool (or fabricate one) to put down the inside of the fork tube to hold the end thats turning.
