Make sure to use brake cleaner and clean everything. I used a bunched up paper towel and pushed it down the fork tube and also inside the cartridge. Using the dampening rod to push it back out. Be careful!! Don't just jam a paper towel in there you don't want bits of it floating in your new fork oil. Clean is key here wipe everything down.
