Hi all can I ask for a bit more help.I'm all ready to do the piston and even bought the on line manual but i'm still not sure about the kip activator rod, when I undo it and then do it up again where do I support it I was told that you pull the rubber boot back and fine a flat section on the rod tube about half way down where you need to hold it with grips, but the manual shows you supporting it with a spanner near the KIP valve head.
Can some one be kind I tell me which one is right.
Thanks I hate to ask and look dum but I dont want to break any thing.
Thanks Jono

I usually find that heating the nut a bit with a propane torch will loosen the locktite.
