Hi John, I got the forks off my 95 ABS-TCS and was happy to finally get the left one reassembled after waiting for a few new parts. Following my Clymer. The right one, stumped. Got the rod back in the tube, the tube in the slider with bush/washer/seal/clip in, fluid measured, spring in, and pushed the spring down enough while holding up the damper rod (it keeps sinking, hope that's normal) to slip in the top seat and slotted spring collar. If I pull up the tube, it currently stops at about the same height as the top of the rod. But per manual and a video I found, I'm STILL supposed to jam the spacer between the collar and spring. Question 1 is, is that correct? Two: is the right spring supposed to be much more compressed than the left one (which was much easier to install)? And three, HOW do you compress the spring that much in a regular guy's garage? I got it off gently with a come-along, but with the rod always sinking, can't get that method to work again. Eagerly awaiting your saged advice, Eric
