Shock Bleeding Steps:
1. Before assembly, get each bleed
screw and thread it 1-2 turns into the
shock cap. This will make installation
easier when you are bleeding your
shocks.
2. Pull shock shaft down.
3. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone
shock fluid.
4. Slowly move the shock shaft up and
down to remove air from under the
piston.
5. Wait for bubbles to come to surface.
6. Fill shock body to top with silicone
shock fluid.
7. Place a drop of oil in the cap and on
cap threads.
8. Install cap (without bleed screw) and
tighten completely.
9. Slowly compress shaft all the way to
bleed excess silicone shodk fluid out
the hole in the cap (use rag around-
shock to catch excess fluid).
10. Install 2-56 button head screw until
snug while shaft is fully compressed
(recommend using a high quality
.050” wrench such as Factory Team
#1542).
