    which 55? there is more than one version.

    now most BOLTS hold things together! adjusters adjust things.

    So either the fork will fall to bits or you may adjust something.

    If you do not know which 55 it is what bike did it come with?

    ok so at the bottom of the left leg there is the rebound adjuster,

    on the top of the right leg there is the air assit valve to help set the sag.

    so thats it. set sag with air (or change soring) max 15psi and then adjust the rebound on the bottom of the left leg.
