In the event the reservoir needs to be replaced, heat the area near the threaded
end with an air gun and loosen using suitable equipment.
Replace the reservoir O-ring. Grease the O-ring being careful not to smear the
thread in the mount.
Apply Loctite and screw on the reservoir being careful not to damage the O-ring.
Tighten to 40 Nm (4 Kgm; 39.2 ft/lb).
NOTE: Perform these procedures in a clean environment and clean any com-
ponents to be reused.

If you have drained the shock oil, you will need to remove the floating piston.
Extract the floating piston using pliers and be careful not to score the reservoir.
Replace the reservoir if it shows any surface damage.
