My issue was that the bearings were so rusty I couldn’t measure their gauge to buy replacements. I got these guys to rebuild in the end;

Any bodge alternatives?
Needle Nose Pliers, a steady grip and some protection over the central shaft.
I’m sure you’ll give it a go, but the damper in mine was well a truly stuck and no amount of taping it with a punch was going to budge it. If you decide to buy a castle nut tool you’ll need to check which damper you’ve got as that’ll dictate which tool to use.
Could this be why they’ve got a bad reputation? Without the right tools it’s either impossible or such a horrible experience you don’t want to do it again…
Regular servicing something that needs to be done, therefore you might want to spend a little now to protect your investment.

Wow, I presumed it would be a straight forward job. Just want to strip it, clean, and rebuild.
I've not rode the bike yet and never had a headshok bike, so I have no idea if it's working as it should.
If I push the bars down the shop moves. The adjustment knob doesn't seem to lock the thing out (if that's it's job)
