Hi guys,
I've spent today changing the dust and oil seals on my forks (L1). I put it all back in the correct order but the allen bolts at the base of the fork will not find the piston rod thread, I've tried compressing the forks while tightening the bolt to no avail. I am yet to put the oil in, although I don't see how this could affect it all fitting in together.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, or how to sort it out?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks

Got this sorted now - the answer was a hydraulic press to nearly (30mm away from) bottom the forks out

I found the forks go coil bound with 17mm of travel left. I used a threaded M8 rod to "grab" the end of the damper rod and pull it as far as it would go as I couldn't get the threads "in range" of the allen bolt.
