Help, I just cannot get this expanded split glide ring back in on the rebound damper piston head.
The spit ring just gets caught up on the internal lip, no matter how I try and I am trying opposite the split first.

Really don't know why. First "new" fork to have this "extra" feature. I think the older ones were rubber and foam.
Any suggestions?

Wally.

Can you use a zip tie in a piston ring compressor style

Success, the power of stepping away from the bike, a STW rant and a cup of tea solves all.

It's a technique I find useful for these frustrating jobs, too!
