My reverb A2 stealth 150mm has started grinding.
Post clamp is not too tight.
Working fine other than that.
Full rebuild or just strip, clean, bushing? 10 quid service kit? I want to be able to service my own kit.
Any advice appreciated.

My A2 was doing the same, as well as starting to leave white marks on the stanchion. I bought one of the basic rebuild kits (I think the one you're talking about, only used a few of the seals) for the lower bushing and a few of the seals, and one of the ~8 quid to call bushings from eBay, and did a very basic rebuild (using Stendec grease)
Seems quite a bit smoother now. The original top cap bush was in tatters, the coating had disintegrated.
Mines a 31.6, which I believe are easier than 30.9s as you can undo the big nut at the bottom of the inner shaft and slide the top cap past it. without removing the inner seal stuff. I'm sure I read somewhere that with the smaller diameter ones it's a bit more involved. May be wrong though.
Edit: the remains of my lower bushing...
