• Allow time for the bubbles to dissipate.
• Repeat the process until all air has been removed.
17. Pull IFP up until its top is approximately 1" (2.54 cm)
from top of reservoir and remove the IFP Tool. Using
a 3/32" Allen wrench, install the IFP bleed screw.
NOTE
During installation, some shock oil will over flow. Wrap
a shop cloth around the shock body to catch any oil
overflow.
NOTE 21. Pull the damping piston up until it is just below the
surface of the oil.
When the IFP Tool is removed, the IFP must remain
submerged in shock oil to prevent air from getting under 22. Hold the rod eyelet with one hand. With other hand,

with the body is made. Oil will overflow from around
the bearing cap.
18. Fill the shock body with oil approximately 1/4" below
the threads. 23. Screw the bearing cap assembly into the shock body
by hand, holding the rod up so that the bearing cap is

• While holding the shock rod, apply 2 - 3 sharp blows to
the rod eyelet with a rubber mallet driving the piston
down into the shock body. This opens the valves on
the damping piston. You will see the released air
bubbles come to the surface of the oil.
