Hey all, i am putting progressive springs in my forks and in the process of removing the fork caps, one of them deformed very slightly from the torque of my impact driver.
As new caps are very expensive, i was wondering what your thoughts on reusing this one would be. On an allen head this big (17mm), would i have to seriously worry about it rounding out? I should note that the reason it was more resistant to come out than the other side, and consequently deformed, is because i didnt loosen the upper triple tree clamp one side and i did on the other--- a mistake i wont be repeating.
