From looking at the [url= http://www.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/2011-recon-silver-technical-manual.pdf ]service manual[/url] I have all of the tools except a torque wrench - is it a very bad idea to go ahead without one?

I have found [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rock-Shox-Am-2012-Fork-Service-Kit-Basic-Recon-Silver-Coil-/301210102674?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item4621856b92 ]this kit on ebay[/url] but it is for the 2012 forks, and mine are 2011 - struggling to find one anywhere for my forks, can anyone suggest anywhere?

And finally, does anyone have any experience with these? Am I going to regret trying this?

Just found [url= http://www.tftunedshox.com/Catalogue/Shop-RockShox/RockShox/RockShox-Recon-Parts ]this[/url] at TFTuned (Top on the list). A bit pricey, but I think it is the right kit - am I right?

The eBay kit will be fine. You will need 5wt and 15wt oil for damper and lube. IMO torque wrench is not necessary - just go easy. You may need new crush washers. I use copper washers from eBay.
