Im not gonna touch them, they slide easy enough and no signs of rust. I can see em there with the damper taken out, when you say do not disturb you mean dont remove ? see photo in #13, there is a bit of movement on them races I can push em down slightly to line em all up !

I like that, thanks MikeA !!

Ah ok, I did not send this collar to the repair shop with the damper; is it easy to install once I get the damper back ? Or do you think I should ask them to fit one ! It looks like it will just slide over the damper spring right ?

I removed the air cylinder no problems there; however there was also a round spacer that came out with it, it was located ontop of the air cylinder. Is above the air cylinder and below the air piston the correct position for this ? Ive had a look at a few online drawings for this shock and...

Right O thats great thanks

Great stuff I will try and find a metric size for those orings. Would like to take the air cylinder out anyhow just so I know how its done. Do i need to remove the rubber boot and detach that part of the fork (that the rails are in) or can I remove the air cylinder with all that in situ ...

To update, the air piston is removed, it was not stuck atall I just attached pump to the valve and it shot out easily enough, see the pic below. Are these the only two seals that need replacing ? Does anyone know the sizes? I gues its just a straight forward remove the old and replace with new...

Okay got it, yep the piston is likely still in there. Its hard to make out when I dont know what to look for. Theres something in there with a kind of sticky-up thing (iooks like the rubber on the end of a pencil, but made of metal); would that be the top of the piston ? Its not the underside of...

No joy here in UK sourcing replacement DL70 cylinder, or finding anyone to repair it; so I sent it to Mendon's as advised. I do have another question if I could. With my forks in the photos above, is the air cylinder part of the fork itself (i.e its not removable) ? Thanks

Yep ive sent an email earlier

Anyone with a DL70 damper for a Headshock please let me know. J

Okay, if you come across one please do let me know !

Okay thanks MikeA i will get in touch. I suppose the DL70 cylinder is discontinued in the US too ?

I removed the damper today using a DIY castle tool I fashioned up from a 22mm socket, as you can see in the pics below the nut has separated from the stem. Im not sure if its worth trying to get this pressed backon, may as well buy a new unit. Anyhow see the pics below, below are the forks...

The fork itself has Ultra written on it. I will post some photo's tomorrow as its 1am here now, thanks for the rely
