Mr Rixter Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hello, I want to change the oil of the shocks but I'm stuck, I can't seem to be able to completely dissemble the shock. I have removed the bottom part of the shock but the top cap is still screwed somehow so I can't completely remove the rod and change the oil. I don't want to break it so has anybody done this before? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You want to go in from the top. They can be a little difficult to unscrew the shock cap. The trick is having a good grip on the shock body, having removed the spring... Then using iers or spanner to unscrew the cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) When I did my ally caps my plastics ones were on so tight I couldn't believe it....makes u wonder how they can pop off in a heavy landing being that tight..lol..I used pliers (wrapped in a rag) gently and eventually they came off. .

Mr Rixter Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 After a closer inspection it looks like my shock caps are super glued, no wonder I've never had them pop off like many other s50 owners have complained about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
