Place the rebound adjuster screw onto a
2.5 mm hex. Use your thumb or finger to hold
the detent ball in the rebound adjuster screw
and insert the rebound adjuster screw into the
shock body. Gently push on the hex/screw
while slightly rocking it back and forth until the
screw seats far enough in the shock body that
the detent ball is secured. Thread the screw
completely into the shock body.
As you thread the adjuster screw into place, it
should remain smooth, then start to click.

Use your fingers to install a new Ending Stroke
Rebound retaining ring. Insert one end of the
retaining ring into its groove, then press around
the ring to seat it completely.
83.
Use a 2.5 mm hex to turn the Ending Stroke
Rebound adjuster fully counter-clockwise,
toward the rabbit, to ensure the retaining ring is
fully seated. Leave the adjuster in this position
for the remainder of the shock service.

Apply grease to the air can seal head seals and
install the seal head, threaded side up, onto the
shock body.
Start to install the seal head at an angle,
engaging one side of the seal head/seals onto
the shock body. Use your middle fingers to
stabilize the seal head, use your thumbs to brace
against the shock body, and use your index
fingers to pull on the inside of the seal head to
engage the seal head completely onto the shock
body.

Slide the seal head down the shock body until it
touches the electrical tape. Install the top out
bumper onto the shock body, with the tapered
