    Check with Chacal - just PM him. You may be able to replace the guts, they just screw out with a tool you can get at any bicycle shop or you can fabricate one.

    Ya i picked some of the guts up at ace hardware store in the automotive section. they were about 2.50 for 4. fixed my problem, but my dang seal on the spring cap is leeaking too. checked it buy pouring some oil on top after i fill it with air. It bubbles were the leak is. Looks like i've got to take em apart again. i looked at the seals and they looked fine. that's what i get for being lazy 2ice the work. Dang!!!!
