10. Reinstall lowers on fork by feeding

fully extended compression rod

and damper rod into holes in the

lowers. Use Blue Loctite on the

threads of the two assemblies.

Tighten rebound knob assembly

with an 18mm wrench to 7Nm.

Tighten compression rod nut with a

13mm wrench to 5Nm.

11. After the fork is completely

reassembled, it is possible that air

pressure may be trapped in the

lowers causing a vacuum. If this

occurs, equalize the air pressure

in the lowers by passing a zip tie

through the wiper seals on both

legs of the fork while the fork is at

full extension.
