Hi guys,
Sorry I forgot I posted this thread.
From memory I removed the top mounting nuts from the tower and removed the lower self locking nut and washer that holds the bottom onto the lower bracket. I guess the suspension didn't droop enough , because when I tried to release the lower end from the mounting by pulling the lower end towards the diff. I think the top end caught and by this action I heard gas escape from the top seal around the shaft and some oil squirted out.:stupid: Now when you compare both rear shocks, this one does not have the same gas pressure nor does it have the same damping properties. I was thinking that maybe I could talk to the guys that repressurize gas struts. Maybe they can help?
Being in The land down under it's a bit far to send it to Tokico but maybe they might have some suggestions if I emailed them.
Regards
