Shock Maintenance - Fix Leaky Shocks (Cleaning)

This will not be a full shock rebuild. I'll just be cleaning them up, stopping some leaks and refilling them.

 

The first step is getting the outside clean. Getting the outside clean ensures that you don't get any crud in the shocks when you open them up. To clean them I use my nitro cleaner, it cuts right through the oil and makes for easy wipe up.

 

 

Upon opening the shocks, it was no surprise to me to find no oil. It was bone dry.
