Steps 1-4
TRIM SHOCK PISTONS
Burrs interfere with smooth shock action within
the shock body. To remove from tree without
creating burrs, twist up, not down. Remove
two each of #1 and #2.
Remove remaining burrs carefully with hobby
knife.

SHOCK SEAL PARTS
Install the #5407 and #6440
parts shown onto the #6429
tool tip.
Add 3-4 drops of #5428 oil to
the inside of the shock body,
and to the shock seal parts.
Insert the tool tip into the
shock body all the way. Push
easily until the parts snap into
place.
Check the tool height in
photo. The right shock shows
just before snapping parts in
place, the left shows after.
If your shocks do not snap
together easily, check the
parts for burrs again.
Assemble the other shock
bodies the same.
DISMANTLING THE
SHOCKS WHEN IT'S
REBUILD TIME
Put the shock assembly tooltip
into the bottom of the shock
until it rests against the small
washer, as shown, then push.

TRIM SHOCK WASHERS &
SPACERS
For best shock performance, trim
each part from the parts tree so no
part of the two molding runners
remain. It is safer to remove a tiny
amount of the part than to risk the
chance of a burr remaining. Short
blade scissors or a hobby knife will
work fine, as shown at right. Run your
finger over the edges to feel for burrs
you cannot see. Remove the ones
you find. Burrs can keep the parts
from snapping in correctly, and can
cause the shock to leak or the shaft
to jam.
