m (10 in-lb).
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the damper body and clean it with a rag.
Remove the shock from the vise. Pour the oil out of the IFP reservoir.
Wipe the inside of the IFP reservoir with a rag.
NOTICE
Do not spray isopropyl alcohol into the reservoir. Isopropyl alcohol can
cause o-rings to become brittle and crack.
Clamp the shaft eyelet into the vise so the shock is vertical
To check the bleed quality, install the IFP Height Tool into the IFP
reservoir and apply force to the IFP Height Tool (approximately
25 lbs). The IFP should feel firm and should not compress. If the bleed
check window is compressed beneath the edge of the reservoir, the
system will need to be re-bled. To re-bleed the system, remove the IFP
reservoir and the IFP, and return to step 4.
Apply a thin layer of grease to the IFP reservoir cap o-ring. Push the IFP
reservoir cap into the IFP reservoir until the retaining ring groove
is visible.
