Use a 4 mm hex to turn the Beginning Stroke
Rebound adjuster fully clockwise, toward the
turtle.

Remove the shock from vise. Turn the shock
horizontal and clamp it back into vise at the body
eyelet.

Apply Parker
O-Lube to the shaft eyelet/air can
®
o-ring, the seal head/air can o-ring, and the air
piston seals and glide rings.
111.
Align the shaft eyelet so that it is parallel with
the body eyelet.
For optimal access to the rebound adjuster once
the shock is installed in the bike, you may wish to
rotate the shaft and shaft eyelet 180 degrees.
112.
Look inside the air can from the large opening.
Locate the four key slots positioned around
the smaller opening. Determine which key slot
should engage the tab on shaft eyelet so that
when the shock is installed on the bicycle the
air can is positioned to allow for optimal frame
clearance and air valve access. Use a felt tip
pen to make a mark on the outside of the air can
around the small opening that corresponds with
the key slot of choice.
113.
Pour 3 cc of
Maxima
into the air can inner sleeve and use your finger
to spread it evenly on the inner surface of the
sleeve.
keep the air can positioned so that the lube does
not spill out of the air can.
Avoid getting oil onto the air can threads.
114.
Align the mark on the air can with the tab on the
shaft eyelet and firmly press the air can onto
the shock until the shaft eyelet is fully extended
from the air can. Continue to push on the air can
and gently twist it to ensure that the eyelet tab is
engaged with the air can key slot.
do not allow the air piston glide rings to
become dislodged from the piston during air
can assembly. if this occurs, you will need to
remove the air can, reinstall the glide rings, then
reinstall the air can.
once the air can is installed onto the shock,
the locating tab on the shaft eyelet will no
longer be visible. use the rebound adjuster as
a reference, as it is in direct alignment with the
locating tab.
