OK, I borrowed a friend's bike jack today and jacked up the Husky. Took out the set screws and the fork started leaking what remained of the fluid. However, I went ahead and checked to see if the stanchion tube was loose. Yep, I was able to give it about four full turns and then it fully seated. This immediately stopped the leaking. Also, I went ahead and checked the bolt at the bottom, which was not reaching full tightness before. Well, I was able to turn it probably 20 turns and this time it fully tightened and seated.
I think I solved the problem. Problem is, I now have a mostly dry fork tube.
So, here are my questions in order:
1. How can I refill this fork tube with oil? If I were to thread out the lug again, could I just remove it and refille it with oil...or is it going to explode like a jack in the box with parts flying everywhere? Maybe I should go back to Marzocchi and look at the manual again. I was hoping someone here had done the deed and could help me out;
2. How the hell do you get the wheel off? I assume you need to put an allen wrench into the axle retainer on the brake side? Does anyone know what size that is? It was bigger than anything I had on hand, so I will have to buy a tool for that.
Thanks again for the help and the patience, folks!
