step 3
Insert the assembly into the shock body and pull
the shaft through firmly to seat the VC bobbin at
the base of the shock bore.
Push the #7217 pivot ball and eyelet together. As
you hold the shaft with a rag and needlenose
pliers next to threads, screw the eyelets onto the
end of the shock shaft.
TIP:
Use a permanent marker to mark your
shocks with an F and R to designate front and
rear.

OIL
6428
Holding the shock
upright, fill with oil
to the top of the body.
Slowly move the
shaft up and down
several times to
allow air bubbles
to escape to the top.
Refill with oil to the
top of the body.
Push the shaft up until
the piston is level with
the top of the body.
The oil will bulge up
above the shock body.
Fill The #6428 shock cap about
halfway with oil and install onto
the body. Try to retain as much
oil as possible during assembly.
The shaft will extend out as you
tighten the cap down.
step 4
SETTING THE
REBOUND
Move the shock shaft
in and out a few times
an then push it all the
way in. It should be
easy to push the shaft
in until the eyelet hits
the body
Then the
shaft should
push itself
out to its full
length very
slowly.
If the shock
does not push
out this far
there is not
enough oil in it.
Add just a little
oil and try
steps 6-7
again.
If the shock rebounds too
fast, or you cannot push the
shaft in until the eyelet hits
the body, there is too much
oil. Loosen the cap about a
full turn and pump out a small
amount of oil by pushing the
shaft in. Retighten the cap
and try steps 6-7 again.
Too much oil in the shock
will result in leakage.

INTERNAL SHOCK
ASSEMBLY
(Assemble all four
shocks at once.) Install
the #6469 O-ring over
the threads of the
shock body.
On the #8844 (3964*)

#6299 E-clip on both
sides of a #6465 (#2)
piston from step #1.
Slide the VC foam/
bobbin assembly over
the #8844 (3964*)
shaft and then two
