Step 1.
After removing the shock,
push up on the lower spring
cup and snap it off of the
shaft. Remove the spring.
NOTE: If you only wish to change
or fill the shock fluid, skip to step 6.
Step3.
Remove the 1/4" nut by turning it
counterclockwise. Remove the
piston and washer. Remove the
old cartridge. Put a drop of shock
oil on the shock shaft before
installing new shock cartridge.
Step 5.
If you plan on completely changing
the shock fluid (suggested), dump
out the old fluid from the shock
body before reinstalling the car-
tridge/shaft assembly. Pull the shaft
out so that the piston is next to the
cartridge and reinstall the
assembly into the shock body;
tighten in a clockwise direction.
Step 7.
Holding the shock upright, push
the shock shaft in slowly until it
bottoms out. While holding the
shock shaft in this position, replace
the small screw and washer in the
shock top. If fluid leaks around the
threads of the cartridge, it is
probably not tight enough.

cartridge/shaft assembly from
the shock body by turning it
counterclockwise.
Step 4.

1/4" nut and tighten by
turning it clockwise.
Step 6.
Note: If you are just refilling your
shocks, be sure to use
Losi 30wt silicone
shock fluid (LOSA5224).
Remove the shock cap and the
small button head screw and
washer in the top of it.
Carefully fill the shock body with
fluid to the top. Move the shaft
up and down slowly to remove
bubbles. Top off with oil if needed.
Step 8.
Slide the spring over the
shock body against the
shock adjuster nut. Slide
the lower shock cup onto
the shock shaft and snap it
onto the shock end being
sure that it seats on the
mount. Reinstall the shock.
