Berry,
I posted this a little earlier, but I'll pass the info on to you also, After
removing the needle from the piston, use a small mallet and a short section
of 1/4" wooden dowel to tap the adjusting assembly back up and out the top of
the damper bore. The star washer will come out first and it's tiny - don't
lose it!
The replacement "O" ring is 3/8" O.D., 1/4" I.D., leaving a 1/16" cross
section. It's a standard profile, not square cut. Check with your local
hydraulic supply house and ask for a Buna-N compound, Nitrile should work
also.
Good luck,
Charlie B.
