I have read related post but I don't understand.... I pulled My old absorber but I cannot compress it. Is it possible to grind it down.... Somebody mentioned removing a washer, could it be the one in the middle of the absorber that you have to cut off.... I am have problems pull starting, but its fine when I back out the bolts on my lower unit.....please help....

Thanks for the quick response, I cut the washer off, reinstalled and it was fine... The washer was right in the middle of the absorber... I guess it was enough... Thanks again, I love this site.
