ROck shox SID adjuster knob

[02GF74]

Form the manuals I managed to get from Rock Shox website, there is an adjuster that fits on to an allen bolt which screws into the right hand fork leg.



How is the adjuster meant to work? The service manual states that is pushed on to the bolt. The adjuster is meant to be turned to set the rebound damping but surely all that does is to do up or undo the bolt thus letting the oil out of the leg? The bolt has a nylon washer and alloy cup.



From service manual:


In the photo I can't quite work out if the bolt is hollow and the adjuster has a long central bit that goes through the bolt and into the fork gubbins - that would make sense to me.

yep -- my hunch was correct;

I need equivalent fo this kit for my fork http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=2469&ModelID=21941

might be able to use it. (spindle looks a bit longer that the one for mine)

Anyone got a SID fork and removed the adjuster? Is the spindle thing square or hex cross section?
