When I took the shock apart I forgot to "back off" the rebound adjustment, it was set 2 clicks from the hardest setting. When I reassembled the shock it was very hard to push the rod in and out to bleed the shock, I asked a shop what the problem might be. They told me the rebound needle was stuck in the hard setting and I would have to take the shock apart to push the needle down with a small drill bit. I didn`t want to take it apart again so I added a little air-pressure to the bladder to move the needle, it seemed to work because moving the rod in and out got a little easier. Maybe it is something with that needle because of the way I took the shock apart without backing off the rebound adjuster? Is this a possibility?
