I service my shocks all the time, at the track, in my workshop at home, and most of the servicing, afaik, is done with the cap off, except in the first few seconds and until the very end. I leave the mount attached to the cap (but not to the tower!!!
) when I change oil, piston, limiters, or green-slime the orings and the cap is resting somewhere on my workbench or my pit table... the fact that there's a bolt+bushing attached to the cap during that time isn't really an issue... at least not one that's worth $25 to me.
to me the lunsford bits' primary function looks like setup-changing in a breeze.. not facilitating shock maintenance, as the stock kit setup (bolt+screw) allows to service the shock in exactly the same time as the lunsford, by uncrewing one bolt...
But I sure do respect what you guys pointed out, I just didn't get it the first time around as it was such a non-issue to me
Cheers
