All done, didn't take too long, the only problem i struck is that i didn't notice the split ring that enables the two bottom plates to separate for spring removal and i ended up taking the lower eye/adjuster off to remove the spring. when i screwed it back on i messed up the adjustment screw so it didn't work. i had to remove it and re-bleed. I noticed the split ring when i went to refit it. there is no air in it now and i filled it with 150psi of nitrogen. it seems real soft but i need to wind the preload back into it as i backed the rings right off. will try that tomorrow night.

thanks again for the help Matt.
