fork leg.

Use a small hex wrench to depress the Schrader valve and release all air 
pressure from the air chamber. 

CAUTION - EYE HAZARD

Verify all pressure is removed from the fork before proceeding. Failure to do 
so can result in injury and/or damage to the fork. Wear safety glasses.

Use a 2.5 mm hex wrench to loosen the set screw and remove the rebound 
adjuster knob located at the bottom of the drive side fork leg.

Use a 5 mm hex wrench to loosen both bottom bolts 3 to 4 turns.
