Push
the shaft up so the piston is up
to the top of the body, otherwise there
will
be
too much
internal
pressure.
VERY
CAREFULLY
screw
the shock
cap
onto the body, making sure the
cap
goes
on
straight. BE
CAREFUL not to crossthread the cap.
The
cap
needs to screw all
the way down to the
shock
body
. There
should
be
no
gap
between the
cap
and
bottom where the arrow is indicating. The
0-ring
will
actua
ll
y
be doing the
sealing
so
we
must BE CAREFUL not
to overtighten the
cap
and
st
ri
p
out
the threads. As soon
as the
cap
comes into contact with the
body
just turn it a
VERY
SMALL
amount to seat it.
