Stanchions? Yes

what sort of work has to be done? or is it a trade secret?

Depends how you are going to approach top out spring.

Basically you take shuttle valve out so cartridge will fit.

so if I understand it correctly, when the cartridge has an internal top-out spring, you
just grind the peening off the bottom of the stanchion and hammer out whatever is inside?

what about f3 cartridges where the top-out is external like on damping rods?
