Hi I'm just trying to figure out what kind of a pump/valves are needed, and HOW do you pump air into the fok?

Do I need to unscrew something?

Post what kind of fork you have. How can anyone answer that question otherwise?
it depends on the year- i know the fork on the 09 is coil.

It's a manitou axel.

Well I didn't realise there are different ways of pumping up a fork :)
It is a coil spring fork. It does not use an air spring.

Hmm so if it's getting weak what are the options?
put in a different stiffer spring, or crank up the preload and hope for the best
