Just finished rebuilding my '09 Reba SL 29. Everything went smoothly with the SRAM videos plus the tech manual. However, after installing the the lower legs, I find that I cannot tighten the right leg rebound shaft bolt to the rebound damper shaft more than finger tight. The bolt seems to be engaging the shaft a few threads then the shaft is simply turning as I turn the shaft bolt. The manual says to torque this bolt to 65 in/lbs. How do I do this? Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?

Turn the fork right side up and care not to spill any oil. Turn the knob to lockout, compress the fork and wrench away.

Thanks, worked perfectly! I guess SRAM must have missed that step! They could also use a proof reader to catch contradicting oil volumes and torque specs in their 2009 tech manual.
