STEP A-17
Screw the shock cap onto the shock body and tighten it finger tight.
Exercise the shock. If it squeaks, remove the cap to work out any addi-
tional air bubbles.
STEP A-18
Slide the upper spring retainer over the shock body. Snap a 2mm ride
height spacer onto the shock body between the shock cap and the
upper spring retainer. The ride height spacers (spring pre-load spacers)
will snap onto the shock body from the side and do not have to be slid
on from the end.
STEP A-19
Slide a spring over the shock and secure it with the nylon lower spring
retainer.
STEP A-20
Use needlenose pliers to snap a hollow ball connector into the short rod
end. Repeat steps A-1 through A-20 for the 3 remaining shocks.
STEP A-16
Pull on the shock rod so that the piston head travels to the bottom of the
shock body. Fill the shock with 60WT oil until it is about 3/4 full. Slowly
move the piston up and down to remove any air bubbles. If necessary,
allow the shock to stand until all the bubbles rise to the top. Fill the
shock until the oil level is about 1mm from the top edge of the shock
body.
