Are you doing anything else other than preload adjusters? If not they will likely not be stiff enough. What bike?

I have a set out to get reworked at the moment and was told by the suspension tuner that they use green loctite. He has to use a torch to get them apart.

Just a FYI if you didnt know to replace the springs you have to take off the fork bottoms. Even though these are invert forks, internally they are much more like conventional forks. The stock progressive 3-5 rates are very soft and spongy, Im now running straight 6 rate springs, with custom valving by RJP racing. That along with preload adjusters seems to be a great setup.

lol good luck! it needs to be heated to loosen the green loctite
