Check that the rebound adjuster knob is set to the fastest rebound
3
setting. Rotate the rebound adjuster counter-clockwise until it stops.
Slide the seal head/air piston until it stops at the end of the damper
shaft.
Use your hand to install the seal head/air piston onto the

Do not hold on to the shaft eyelet or damper shaft while inserting
the seal head. It will move the piston/shaft assembly, causing too
much fluid to displace out of the damper body.
Check that the compression ball is removed from the
seal head/air piston.
Fluid will be displaced out of the bleed port.
Use a torque wrench with 17 mm crowfoot to tighten the seal head/air
5
piston to 28 N·m (248 in-lb).
Install the crowfoot onto the torque wrench at a 90° angle to the
handle to ensure an accurate torque reading.
Allow air bubbles to escape from the bleed port in the seal head.
