[QUOTE="beefking, post: 613120, member: 36615"] Well I got it off, sorta like what you did coker. I just took one sharp flatblade screwdriver, and tapped it between the stopper and the shock body. I did that on either side, and the rest was just prying it out. I also heated the body up/iced stopper down a little to get some more clearance. Its really alot easier than is sounds when reading it! Once all back together, pumped it up and down a few times then left it fully extended for a few minutes. With it still upright, pulled the bleeder at the top of the shock and filled it up the rest of the way (to the threads of the bleeder) with an eye dropper type-dealy, then did the process over again to make sure... I'm pretty sure I got all the air out, damping action is smooth the whole length. I really appreciate all the help guys, BIG cheers on me!!! :yeehaw: :thumb: PS, I think you probably COULD change the oil without taking apart the shock itself, as there wasn't much in there at all from draining it out anyhow. If you bled it nice and good I'm sure it would be fine, but I cleaned everything with parts cleaner to get all of the old oil out. I replaced it with 7wt oil, don't think it will make much difference. [/QUOTE]
