Thanks Jake

i will post a pic of my simple spring compressor, single handed (rephrase that to one person - must have all limbs working) removal and then measured the oem shim stack that i had in storage (except my vernier only measures to one decimal place so have no idea if there are any 0.15 or .25 shims) and then studied the manual to work on my confidence for the operation.

One difference i have noted from the manual and your post and the technician that i watched when it was revalved was that i seem to remember him removing the compression adjuster and filling all the oil in through the port. Are there any benefits in doing this? The manual posted for the Betas seems pretty specific and clear to follow so will most likely not remove the compression setup (mostly because they involve springs and ball bearings - both of which tend to disolve into thin air in my garage!)
