Walker Evans™ Remote Reservoir /
Piggyback Shock Assembly
1. Secure the shock rod in a vise with the threads of the
rod facing up.
2. Place the compression valve stack on the rod in the
r
everse order of disassembly.
3. Place the valve piston on top of the compression
stack.
4. Place a new lock nut onto the shock rod. Torque the
new lock
nut to specification.
IMPORTANT: Do not over torque or damage to the
va
lve stack can occur.
5. Secure the shock body by its lower mount.
6. Set the compression damping adjustment selector to
position “1”.
7. Fill the shock body and remote reservoir 1/2 full of
Wa
lker Evans
™ 5w shock oil (PN 2874522).
8. Apply a thin film of oil to the IFP o-ring and floating
w
ear band located on the shock rod piston.
9. Compress the wear band and insert the IFP into the
re
servoir. Allow as much air as possible to escape as
you install the piston.
10. Screw the IFP tool, PN
PS-45908, into the IFP.
11. Hold or place the reservoir as low as possible on
remote reservoir s
hocks so the air will travel upward
as you slowly cycle the IFP up and down.
• Be sure to bottom out the piston in the reservoir
bo
dy.
• Allow time for the bubbles to dissipate.
• Repeat the process until all the air has been
re
moved.
