Shock Bleeding Steps:
1. Pull shock shaft down.
2. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone fluid.
3. Slowly move the shock shaft up and down to remove air from under piston.
3. Slowly move the shock shaft up and down to remove air from under piston.
4. Wait for bubbles to come to surface.
5. Fill shock body to top with silicone fluid.
6. Place several drops of oil in the cap and on cap threads.
7. Install cap and tighten completely.
8. Slowly compress shaft all the way to the top. If there is pressure at the top of the stroke, there is too much oil. You must bleed it out.
9. Slowly pull shaft down.
10. Unscrew the cap 3/4 turn and tilt the shock at a slight angle.
11. Slowly compress the shaft to push out excess oil and air. You should see bubbles coming out from under the cap.
12. With the shaft compressed, tighten the cap and re-check for pressure at the top of the stroke. If there is still pressure, repeat steps 9 through 11.
