Red Bull Racing RB7: Step by Step
03
Push the pillow ball out of its
socket (red arrow). Using the tip
of a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers will
help you do this, but be careful not to
damage the part.
06
To reassemble the extended
shock, first slide the upper spring
holder over the piston and shock case,
followed by the shock spring, as shown.
04
Take the first extended ball end
supplied with Stage 86 and press
the pillow ball into the socket.
07
To complete the first upgraded
shock, pull the shock spring down
and press the lower spring holder into
place around the base of the new ball end
(see Stage 26 for further details). Repeat
Steps 02-07 to complete the second shock.

7 mm
05
Grip the shock piston rod with
needle-nose pliers (again, wrap
these in cloth) as you did in Step 02, and
screw the new ball end onto the rod's tip
until there is a gap of 7mm between the
ball end and the shock case.
08
To reattach the extended shocks,
place the screws removed in Step 01
back through the shocks' pillow balls, and
tighten them into their respective holes in
the front pushrod cranks. Then press the
sockets in the shock tops over the ball-
headed screws on the front shock mount.
This assembly session is now complete.
