* Shock Bleeding Steps:
1. Pull shock shaft down.
2. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone fluid.
3. Slowly move the shock shaft up and
down to remove air from under piston.
4. Wait for bubbles to come to surface.
5. Fill shock body to top with silicone fluid.
6. Place several drops of oil in the cap and
on cap threads.
7. Install cap and tighten completely.
8. Slowly compress shaft all the way to
the top. If there is pressure at the top
of the stroke, there is too much oil or air.
You must bleed it out.
9. Slowly pull shaft down.
10. Unscrew the cap 3/4 turn and tilt the
shock at a slight angle.
11. Slowly compress the shaft to push out
excess oil and air. You should see
bubbles coming out from under the cap.
12. With the shaft compressed, tighten the
cap and re-check for pressure at the top
of the stroke. If there is still pressure,
repeat steps 9 thru11.
