45mm marzocchi adjusters

[vwdom]

Anybody had trouble getting the preload adjusters to move on 45mm marzocchis? Mine seem to be wound in to max preload and I can't get them to move either way are they knackered or am I missing something?

Usually they are jammed up from some muppet using them to open the cartridges instead of using the proper tool.

That's what I am thinking any point in trying to save them or will they be scrap?

Honestly the preload is pretty much a set and forget thing. Once it is set right you really do not need to muck about with it. I would not even bother with them, as long as they are set up close to each other. Unless you have the proper pin spanner tool to hold the outer and try and free the inner.
