when bills 1st dampner went bad he got mad and tossed it in the woods on the side of the road then one of our friends went in after it and got it rebuilt for free

ill try the one off ebay see how that works and just try to rebuild mine to learn from .

any ideas on that ?-take the little screw out, and drain the oil, move it through the stroke to get it all out
-get a tupperware dish bhig enough to fit the damper in. fill it with oil so the damper is submerged completely. move it back and forth through the stroke untill absolutly no air comes out and it's smooth the whole stroke, no gaps.
-while still submerged put the little screw back in.
i'd try and find out what kinda oil (weight) is in it to begin with and step up from there. i saw a kid with if i remember correctly 50wt in a stock damper and it was tight as hell, no way i'd want that for a daily driver. my guess is fork oil would work best.
