Just to make sure we are taking about the same parts. See attachment.
1. Rod
2. Nut
3. Cap
4. Compression/Rebound Needle Adjustment. The small hex is the needle adjustment.
The large nut on the cap is for preload adjustment.
Steps:
1. Easier to separate cap and rod first.
2. Screw the nut to the lowest position on the rod.
3. Screw the needle adjuster out as far as possible. It won't come out of the cap.
4. Screw the adjuster 3 turns in,
5. Put the cap on the rod. I suggest you do this without the spring first time.Be gentle as you screw down because the needle is going to bottom out on the value.
6. Screw the nut up against the cap. This is were the nut should be.
7. Left nut where it is and reassemble with spring.
When you are done, the adjustment needle should have roughly 3 turns from closed to fully opened.
Also, some of my pictures from above are missing. Picture hoster is gone. Before you tighten the bottom bolt that holds the cartridge to the lower fork, put something at the top so the rod is in the middle of the fork. I used a wine cork. If you don't, the cartridge can be slightly cocked in the lower fork.
