    This is the first time I've gone to adjust them. I bought them used. I was just looking for a place to buy a new one so I could have one on hand in case I break this one next time.

    Ive fixed that once or twice . Dont spin it at all . Take shock out and take spring off or at least take all tension off that preload nut from spring and open up the split on the nut and it will pop right back into place.it will be fine didnt have to replace

    Cool. I'll give that a try this weekend. I might go ahead and order one just in case but this would save me some work.
