FORKS! How to fill with oil and re-assemble?

Litch said:
Replaced the seals on one leg only yesterday. I was going to do both but I am not happy with the fitment of the dust seal so am holding back until I can see how it works.
Stripping the fork was easy enough as was separating the spring from the damper assembly so measuring the oil is no big deal, I did try to measure the quantity of oil as I topped up and it appears to be around 630cc but I will check that when I do the other leg.
The reason I only did a single side is that the dust seal is not a good fit at all and I have some investigation to carry out. They are the same make as the ones already fitted by my dealer (NOK) but they appear to be slightly different and certainly don't fit as well.

Litch, Did you have any trouble removing the cap from the damper rod? I wasn't able to access the retention nut adequately from under the cap.

All, I note in the picture in posting #6 above by John Warner that it looks like the damper rod was disassembled from the bottom of the fork versus removal of the cap as explained in the maintenance manual I have. Is that correct?
