ok....i got the new hals on....(so far so good) but now i have to get the stock perches off the decarbons. the only way they can come off is at the top near the piston rod of course. but there is a gold cap ontop of the strut that wont let the perch slide off. Do i have to get that cap off somehow? i gotta send the perches back to Thunder....??? <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

The gold caps just tap off with a hammer.
