tension on the guides not required during change over.
becareful with the clip not to over extend it.
when you remove the bolt the plunger will shoot across the room so hold on to it.
I've never used lock tite as instructed, torque has been enough.
Although I inspect regularly. but over 45k miles on 2 bikes hasn't loosened yet. reminds me, time to look again.
don't forget to pull the tab out of the bottom of the plunger before you put the cover back on to extend the plunger.
