Just looking at this still and some people mentioned bumpstops. Not a great idea what they are or what they do but pretty sure mine are knackered. So presume its best replacing those too?

I've never used an air gun to do mine. If I had to I'd hold it still with a allen/hex socket and do it up (slowly and painfully) with a spanner.

There's no need for an air gun at all, my bump stops are chopped right down anyway.
