The stanchions (silvery tubey bits?)
Number 8 in the picture was basically wedged into the bottom of the stanchion, when I fitted the damper bolt, the fork refused to slide out of the bottom and extend. I put it in a vice and held it with my foot and still couldn't extend the fork. According to the manual that plastic bit (number eight) should be easy to remove and even just slide out, but they were stuck fast on both legs. There's a good chance I cocked up the assembly procedure but looking back at the manual I can't see where I went wrong.
As i'm assuming the plastic bits were original, they were also quite brittle and fell to bits as I pried them out.
So like a child I had a temper tantrum and now I need a new stanchion and two of the plastic bits.
