just get a rebuild kit from C&D. They are the only ones that give free fluid.

I have one that I just rebuilt and it has little or no resistance....I was told to use fork oil....I went to a dealer and (Me not knowing) he gave me a qt. of Amsoil synthetic fork oil ($11.00)...I used that and later found out that I should be using 10w fork oil and I put 5w fork oil in...I think it is too thin so I am going to change it to 10W cheaper oil (Non Synthetic)....Sound right?
