23. Install the valve stack/piston and bearing as an
assembly into the shock body slowly. Allow air
bubbles to escape the valve stack/piston drop into
the oil (Fig. 25).
24. Carefully and slowly push the bearing down just past
the retainer groove in the shock body. Install the
retainer ring into the shock body (Fig. 26).
25. Once the retainer ring is installed, slowly push the
shock shaft down into the shock body. DO NOT
PULL THE SHAFT OUT. Do not move the shock
shaft once the shaft bottoms out.
NOTE: If the shock shaft rebounds upwards, it
has come into contact with the IFP. If this occurs,
the IFP position must be reset.
26. Secure the shock assembly in a bench vise.
27. Use the Top Fill Shock Fill Tool to charge the shock
to specification. Charge the shock for approximately
10 seconds (Fig. 27). During the charging process,
the shock rod must extend outwards.
28. Inspect both ends of the shock assembly for leaks.
29. Slide the shock body cap down to the body. Use a
soft-faced hammer to drive the cap into the shock
body (Fig. 28).
30. Install the body cap and eyelet spherical bearings
using an arbor press. Install the spiral rings on both
sides of the spherical bearings.
NOTE: After installation, be sure to RIDE
SLOWLY initially to ensure the shock and the
vehicle’s suspension is performing correctly.
