Could someone please list what special tools I need to accomplish a fluid and spring change? The info on servicing these forks is spread out in so many threads it's a pain to track it all down.
Also, for those that have used the KYB fork springs, did you use a spacer to get the 5mm preload on the spring?

The inner cartridge has a snap ring where you can change the height of the spring perch. Spring perch needs to be pressed down to show them though, and it's usually a tight fit. Watch out for any swarf if the end of the snap ring bites into the perch.
Have a look at the
manual here..
The cap and cart tools are the same size as KYB SSS.
