Ok, I’m getting confused with all the differences in forks. I read through Hughs fork rebuild thread several times, but the majority of it is on the later style forks. He mentions something about the top out spring- “NOTE, there is no top out spring on the early models, it is inside the upper fork tubes and snapped into place via a snap ring. There is not a need to remove it.)” I realized then last night that maybe someone had taken my forks apart at some point and put them back together wrong- When I opened my forks, both the long spring and the short spring were basically just stacked together. There was no snap ring holding the smaller spring anywhere. I unscrewed the top cap, and underneath was the spacer, short spring, little washer with the ring to fit into the big spring, and then the big spring. After reading through hughs rebuild/lowering thread, I took apart the fork again last night and reinstalled the damper with the spring around it like the later style forks, so the smaller spring is sandwiched between the damper and the bottom of the fork tubes. Is this correct? Also, any reason I shouldn’t use blue locktight when re tightening the damper bolts? I’m paranoid they will somehow work loose.
