I'm getting ready to swap springs for a set of progressives and need to replace the seals (one is leading a little).
I've read the inductions in the manual and watched the you tube vid, and both of them show the need to remove the damper.
My prob is that the PO ate up the head on one of the Allen bolts that hold the damper in place. My question for those in the know: does the damper have to come out to replace the seals?
If so, I'm faced with a few options for removing it:
1. Drive a larger Allen head socket into the bolt and try to remove it that way
2. Drill the head out of the Allen bolt and try to separate the remainder from the damper
3. Drill out the Allen bolt completely and chase the threads with a tap
Other options would include removing the head & replacing the damper ask the way up to replacing the whole darn thing
Any wisdom would be helpful..
