[QUOTE="DannyMoto07, post: 1194199, member: 76870"] Thanks Marc, I did do a search, but the only type of shock-rebuild posts I found were the over-under (inverted) fork style... Mine is the older-style fork (lighter duty) I tried taking my shocks apart this afternoon to no avail. There is a large hex bolt in the bottom of the shock (I gather it holds the plunger in) and an even larger hex bolt in the top of the shock (I gather it holds the springs in the plunger). I couldn't get either of them off.... I did take the drain-bolt out and as soon as I did a huge puff of oil and air came flying out. These are not air-adjustable (or adjustable at all I don't think) but something tells me they're not supposed to build up any sort of pressure inside of them... probably why my seal is blowing oil onto my brakes. Is there a tip short of putting my whole fork leg in a bench vice and hammering on it that will help remove the bolts in order to disassemble the shock? I do need to take it apart to install my new seals, and put new oil in them. When I took out the drain bolt the oil was BLACK and didn't smell too pretty. Dan [/QUOTE]
