I replaced fluid and springs in my fork yesterday and I think I forgot to apply thread locker on one of the dampner bolts. Of course I think about this after I have it back together and sitting in the driveway. My question is if I remove the dampner bolt to put some loctite on it as it sits, will it leak fork fluid? Can I get away with just removing it, loctiting it and reinstalling it? Thanks for any help

 

Very little if any at all.
And when I say very little I mean drops, remember that the dampner rod is under spring pressure.

Yea, that's what I thought. When I took it apart originally and pulled the bolt out, very little fluid came out until I took the top cap off. Just wanted to make sure before I took the bolt out. Thanks
