I have another question.
(If I recall correctly, my old 1980 something Honda 550F had oil drain plugs at the bottom of the forks.) Drain and refill easy-peasy.
From the steps above it seems the the spacer, washer and spring are the only things coming out of the fork other than the oil. Correct?
A drop-in replacement is only the top part? What of the lower parts - the fork piston and rebound spring?
If a spring and oil viscosity will make major improvements I am thinking of just leaving the forks on and only working from the top. Could a narrow diameter tube be worked low enough to suck out the oil?
