Judy damper - rebuild possible?

97 addendum in the Archive and maybe another shows how.
There is I think a post on here with info too.

They all vary a bit but tend to be very similar.

Basically pull it apart, clean, lube, stick back together, use one of a few methods for putting the oil in to it.
(grub screw, fishing wire, injection needle etc)

ATBOY on youtube does a very detailed rebuild of a Judy fork including the cartridge. His 97/98 fork is the plastic cartridge but same applies to the alloy one I believe. I followed his instructions for my 98 Judy rebuild and it turned out excellent. Here is a screenshot of the video with the minute mark on when he starts the cartridge service

I can't make out if it's grease or scoring on the shaft. If the shaft is scored, it's toast as the seal will never seal on it.
