Hello, My normal haunt is the road section, but I have recently decided to buy a slightly newer MTB which has come equipped with the suspension fork mentioned in the title.

My issue is that every time the forks are compressed I get oil leaking from the rebound adjuster at the bottom of the right leg, so i guess i need to replace a seal or something, this document:

http://www.spoke-n-word-cycles.com/Tech ... Manual.pdf

has a schematic for the 2001 sx-r forks that seems to suggest that the rebound adjuster is a nut, however if it is I can see no way of undoing it, as it's completely round with no edges to get a spanner on.

Has anyone here had any dealings with this type of issue?, or advice on how best to get it undone?.

Thanks for your time. Matt
