I absolutely need some help/advice.
I had to change the seals on my 05 bx12scg. Got one done,
But when I went to tighten the bolt in the bottom of the fork it threaded in and caught to the dampner but just spins, wont tighten and wont loosed. I messed with it for 4 hours. cant get it tight or out. It just spins. Please any suggestions?

I am wondering if I cant fix this and am unable to tighten it down atleast does this means my for is shot??

Most of the time,If not all the time one has to use an air gun to spin them on and or to remove same bolt...I guess you all ready did this or??

Hogs,

Thanks for the tip!!!!!
I owe you one.
I tried it. got it out. cleaned it up. Ran back in and locked, now im completely finished with the job..oh minus mounting up the forks, etc to the bike.

That was the one thing I didnt try and it worked. You not only helped me get the forks done, but now I can sleep tonight.

Thanks again!
