The rebound adjuster on my rear damper is completly stuck, any ideas how to get it turnable? Could a nut be MIG-welded on it to get better turning force, or will that melt down some internal o-rings?

 

I have heard of other members complaining about the same thing. What if you spray it down with penetrating oil, something like liquid wrench? I bet they get corroded and sand also gets in them.

 

Please donĀ“t think IĀ“m rude R1000 but can you be turning the wrong screw? There is many to choose from down there :-)

 

Possibly, the screw I'm trying to turn is near the bottom of the dampers right side and is reached thrue a hole in a bracket. The screw has a special head, or not even a head, more like a pin bolt with a cutted cross at the end.

I've also tried WD40 and oil for automatic transmission to penetrate a week without sucess []

The chassi behaves fine even though it appears to almost have no return damping, so I can just leave it as is.

 

If you're not riding the bike for a while and if you can get at the screw - get yourself some blu tac and build it up under the screw so you've got a little depression to fill with wd40. The screw should be submerged as much as possible in the wd and that should hopefully penetrate it.

 

I'd look for a replacement shock sounds like the dampener is frozen.
