#7 in the above diagram is a round-shaped o-ring. What trick can use to get this to stay in its face-shaped (larger radius at one end) groove while reattaching the spring-loaded cover (#6)?You mentioned the stop ring. It’s number 1 in this schematic from the Honda Service Manual:
It’s a simple circlip that holds the sleeve (“Pivot Collar”, item#2) your recalcitrant bolt passes through:
I still think you should pull both forks and do a proper suspension fluid service after the anti-dive is repaired.
Also, didn’t we already establish that both front brake calipers should be rebuilt? Have the rotor bolt and possible rotor damage issues been resolved?
If all this is too daunting, and there’s no local STrider that can assist you, it’s probably time to have the ST trailered to a reputable mechanic. JMHO
