    One of my rebound adjusters was froze up and I have broken the top (where to stick a screwdriver in to adjust) off.

    What should I do now???

    The adjuster screw only pushes the rod up and down correct? Would it work if I drill and tap the hole for a regular bolt, then use a locknut on top to lock the bolt at the height that works best??

    This doesn't look very good, but it is functional. :thumbsup:

    Go to Marzocchi, Usa.

    Mine did the same thing and the parts were cheap and they just regular mailed them since they are light. Hope you didn't really drill it out and use a bolt because a $10 fix is now about $75 for the spring cap. Hall's (Springfield, IL) might have a used one?

    Real easy to replace and use antiseize on them and adjust the ball bearing and spring just till you feel the click when turning them. Alway shoot wd 40 or something in them before you turn them. They corrode and break.

    Go back and look cause I had a thread on this.

    Thanx!
