during a strip down and rebuild i handed my forks to my mechanic and asked that he re-build them. he phoned me and said that the rebound adjusters were both seized (odd? especially both?) so should he have a right go at them or just leave them? i said to leave them seeing as i've never played with a suspension setting in my life and the forks seemed ok before removal just a bit tired feeling.
anyways, rebuilt they were with original springs and new oil and when re-fitted they both leak out of the rebound adjustments screws. not just a little bit either - the left fork throws out oil like it was designed to do so!
so qeustions - how does the rebound valve come out? gentle taps with an impact driver shift it a little way but the screws are starting to muller and i am unsure how much bashing the fork lowers will take.
what's hapened? obviously they were disturbed by initial attempts to adjust them but to leak like this something's gone well wrong surely?
what do i need to replace if they should come out?
any help muchly appreciated.

p.s. why is this site soooo slow?
