Warning

• Whenever drilling into a front shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas in the shock absorber is pressurized and could spray metal filings into the eye.

1. Place the front shock absorber on a level surface or with the piston pointing downwards.

2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in} hole at point A shown in the figure so the gas can escape.
