Warning

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

3.  Turn the hole downwards.

4.  The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod several times up and down and cut the tube at the end.

5.  Dispose of waste oil according to local waste disposal laws.
