What he said. Fix it once and never repair, rebuild or replace again.

Thanks for the advice. So does the monotube use any oil?

Yes. Per install instructions
Pour 5 ounces of 10 wt. fluid in each fork, pausing to stroke the
assembly to get the fluid into the outer fork slider. Failure to do this will
cause the required amount of fluid to overflow (see figure 4). This fluid
is just to lubricate moving parts and has no effect on the actual damping
action of the sealed Monotube cartridge fork insert

Here is a link to the install instructions

Good luck...
