Judy TT preload knob won't turn

[Brad McColm]

I just recently bought a set of new, never installed '04 Judy TT's from a
buddy and once I got the LBS to install them I can no longer turn the
pre-load knob in either direction. it seems to be set on the softest
setting which is fine but i am currently doing some road training and would
like to stiffen up the ride. Any help w/o having to remove the forks would
be appreciated.

Throw it away and buy a rigid fork.

That would be considered an upgrade, in this case.

NO, dont throw away a perfectly good fork! Open the caps and fill it
with sand. Done and done.
