RT3 Fork Cylinder Bolt Spinning was created by Pinbill

Hello,

I am assembling the forks for my RT3 after replacing the seals. On one side the bolt on the bottom that threads into the cylinder valve wont torque. The inner valve assembly spins even with the spring installed. The other side tightens. Is there a tool or method to hold the assembly inside the tube to prevent it from spinning?

Should I put the tight end of the spring down or up? The tight side was up when I took it apart.

Thank you for your help,

Bill
