Leaking oil dampers- ZS CDSE's

["Steve Nabors" <topdown@eudoramail.com>]

Hi Listers,
I just got through going through my carbs with rebuild kits(on '74 Tr6 
ZS-CDSE's). They were not leaking before rebuild but now after a good cleaning, 
both dampers are leaking down over a couple of days. I pulled the metering 
needle on one but the adjustment mechanism/allen screw is somehow held in 
place.  Anyone got a 'been there, done that' technique on getting this piece 
out. As well, is there a seal to replace once I've 'been there, done that'?

Thanks!
