I have a pair of from 2003 (i think), spring one side and compression rod the other. The problem is that I am getting hydrolic lockout, i have striped them twice and followed the manual (which is crap). I put 50ml of oil in both sides, in the lowers when they are half on. when put back together they only have 2" teavel then they lock. I got no compression damping or lockout.

So any ideas, apart from the bin

Are you meant to put 50ml of oil into the lowers or are you guessing this might help?

They're micro-lube and thus grease based AFAIR.

on the right side there is a adjuster for the compression damping into lockout and thats not working.
