My Meister R's came today and they are in real good nick but the springs could do with a lick of paint..
is there any reason I cant take the dampening adjustment rod off?

my father seams to think I cant take them apart as the dampening adjustment rod is pressurised or something but I have read of people disassembleing them to clean em.
Just thought I'd get some more knowledgeable peeps input

Cheers!!!
