Yes, many thanks Steptoe. That's a brilliant step by step for the valves and end float and will help me no end when I come to do the service.
I also agree with Ianbcr that a forum of "How to's" would be handy as all the jobs most people have to attempt at one time or another would be in one place ...

Hi,
There used to be a "sticky" on this not long ago with step by step instructions and pictures but I can't find it now. Think it was by Winger but not sure.

Thanks for the info Gijs, saved me making a costly mistake.

Can anyone give me advice about my rear shock please.
