id021400801500

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

1.  Clamp a rear shock absorber on a flat surface or with the piston pointing downwards.

2.  Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in} hole at point A from the bottom of the tube, so the gas can escape.

Point A: 40—50 mm {1.6—1.8 in}

3.  Turn the hole downwards.

4.  The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod several times up and down and cutting off the end of the tube with a hack-saw.

5.  Dispose of waste oil according to the waste disposal law.
