What is the process to remove the adjuster/spring and floating piston assembly?
This issue has happened to me twice in the last 2-3 years, both on the same fork. First time, the side of the groove for the snap ring broke away, allowing the adjuster to pop out of the top of the fork like in the OP's pics.
Because this is sold as an assembly and is quite $$$$$, we(myself and the service shop) repaired it by welding the snap ring groove and remachining it.
It has now broke again. I now have some replacement parts to fix the PFP, but am wondering at how much of a process it is to remove the adjuster/spring/floating piston assembly??
Does the whole fork have to come apart to facilitate removal, or can the PFP assembly be removed just by unscrewing it from the top of the fork?
The manual doesn't seem real clear on this to my eyes, as it only covers oil/seal/bushing replacement and a few other items.....
