This holds the inner fork tube dampner rod, it spins but so does the other end, I think it's okay if it spins. You'd think I'd know after 2 tear tear downs in one year and a third needed. I can't seem to keep my right fork tube from leaking at the seal. The only way to get this screw out is to remove the whole assembly and reach down in there with a holding tool while turning the screw at the bottom of the fork. I had a fun time making a holding tool last year.

I happened to notice some oil on the sidewall of my front tire tonight.
I checked the bottom of the fork and it was a little wet. There is a hex
head bolt in the bottom of the fork, which is pretty tight but still
turns. What does this bolt do?
