Trying to replace the dampers in my 1000sp 84

The new FAC ones have the top bolt inegrated, but otherwise seems to fit.

However, when I assemble the sping with the spring retainer, its too big to push through the tube at the threaded end.. does this mean I have to compress the spring while the whole thing is in the tube ??
or am I missing something.. as always no instructions with parts that differs from original :banghead:

I'm not sure what you're referring to as the "spring retainer". If you mean the metal cup in the foreground of you photo, that does not retain the spring - it slips onto the bottom on the spring damper assembly and locks it from turning inside the fork lower. There should be a bump on the outer diameter of it that drops into the drain hole of the fork lower. There are tabs on the inside that fit into the slots at the bottom of the damper extension rod.

Assembly is no different than the original except the top plug and bolt is no longer used.
