R51/3 - Installing rear plunger - Any hints?

Post by Micha »

I took it apart a year ago, and now I would like to install both left and right one (with included rear drive) back into the frame again.
As I understand it, I must compress the springing mechanism so I will be able to insert it between both frame's arms?
I am worried damaging the threaded top, where the nickel-plated cap should be.
When is the right moment to insert the greased rods into these forks?
Any help, picture or guiding will be much appreciated.
Thanks - Micha
