    Hi all,

    Has anybody installed compression adjusters before? Can it be done by just flipping the fork leg upside down and unscrewing the old and screwing in the new, or does the entire fork leg has to be taken apart like for when you do a service?
    I ready to install a set of adjusters I bought from one of the members here a while back, but since I've serviced the forks not that long ago I'd rather not dump the fresh oil out if I can avoid it.

    Are the 630 forks Marzocchi's like the 610 but with radial caliper mounts?

    It is a 45mm Marzocchi.

    So I watched a video on single chamber servicing to refresh my memory. And yes, I was able to just unscrew the non-adjustable compression control and bolt the adjustable ones in place.
    I was afraid that the oil would be under pressure, but that wasn't the case.

    This is for a KYB, but the procedure is essentially the same:
