mattknox2008 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Awsome that makes alot of sense. Did they give you any tips on what oil and weight to use? Silver damper rod is the main rod up the center that you can see when you look through the spring. Basicly when the spring is off the shock this should still have alot of restance when you try push it down and return to the top on its own.

worldtrialchamp Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 just rebuilt my 03 Rev3 shock with a new seal kit....was a little bit tricky to assemble but nothing extraordinary....re bleeding, I could see no way to bleed it as described by kasob1964 as there is no access to the shim stacks other than through the tiny ports, and thats not viable once the stack starts to move..perhaps there is a special way but i can't figure it out..anyway, just bled it by working it through its compressed/rebound operating range until the air was expelled...off to get it gassed...fingers crossed about 85ml of oil came out so thats what I put back in (5wt)...re pressure, I am not sure but there wasn't much pressure when I dissassembled it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I know a man who will do it for you without butchering the shock. It was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviob Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I used 5wt once and the damper was too slow. Use Motul 2.5 wt shock oil. Edited March 20, 2013 by liviob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
