shock refresh

(1/2) > >>

troy_mclure:
so im doing the shock refresh as posted in the yahoo group.
currently im waiting on the jb weld to dry. ive got some 40 wt fork oil to put in.

the oil that came out was swirly clear and silver/black.

one shock had tons of gas, the other had a spurt.

i probably will need new springs eventually, they are a bit weak.

troy_mclure:
all done. its alot smoother ride. the rear doesnt "hop" or "buck" over bumps now.

i used a marinating injector needle to put the oil in. $1.99, easy peasy.

J6G1Z:
Please do a post on the process with some pics if you are able.

I know that I would appreciate your efforts & I imagine that the other members would also.

Thanks
J.

troy_mclure:
i didnt take pics. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/honda-ascot/files/  has the writeup and all the pics you need.

J6G1Z:
I found the article titled "Rebuild your OE Showa shocks"

It's an excellent write up & description. I'm going to try it myself sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you to the original author.

J.
