Shock Assembly
1. Insert the shock shaft
assembly through the
shock body until the piston
bottoms out.
2. Lubricate the shaft and
o-rings with silicone oil.
3. Install the one o-ring over the
shaft and into the bore of the
shock body followed by one
small black spacer, and then
another o-ring.
4. Install the lower cap by
pressing it onto the shock
body until it snaps on.
5. Grip the shaft close to the
threads with needle nose
pliers or side cutters and
thread the rod end onto the
shock shaft until the rod end
bottoms out.
6. Fill the shock with new silicone
shock oil (see the "Replacing
Shock Oil" section on the
previous page).
7. Slowly thread the upper
cap with the installed shock
bladder onto the shock body.
The excess oil will bleed out of the small hole in the shock cap.
