1. image showing the black and decker workbench with the bottom of the fork, what is it we are looking at/for here? a red circle and text would help
As in the original the text says: "[size=78%]Try and loosen the damper retaining bolt located in the bottom of the fork. [/size][/size][size=78%] You can see in the picture the top of a hex nut in the bottom of the fork.[/size]
2. DO NOT LET THE FORK BOTTOM OUT ... what does this mean and what do we do to prevent it - pics please - what does "good" and "bad" look like?
This means when you compress the fork (push inner into bottom) do not force it right to the bottom "bottom out" as it will stick. If it does you have to pull it out which can be tricky as it's all covered in oil by then.
3. Loosening/removing damper assembly and stubborn bolts - example pics please
what does a pic of a stubborn bolt look like?
4. ..from here on in the tutorial is not easy to follow as there are just "[limited reached]" errors littered through the text and I wouldnt attempt this job without guidance - please can we sort out the errors
see link to old site with pics
