Hold shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.4. Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and downuntil no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.5. Pull the piston most of the way out of the shock body.6. Insert the top composite pivot mount in the alu collar. Ensure the notch in the collar fits overthe tab on the top pivot mount.7. Insert the rubber membrane in the alu collar.
