Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks

Rebuilding/Refilling the Shocks

Step 1.  
After removing the shock, 
push up on the lower spring 
cup and snap it off of the 
shaft. Remove the spring.

NOTE: If you only wish to change
or fill the shock fluid, skip to step 6.

Turn the shock upside down
and, using the included shock
tool, remove the black shock
cartridge/shaft assembly from 
the shock body by turning it 
counterclockwise.

Step 2.

Step3.
Remove the 1/4" nut by turning it 
counterclockwise. Remove the
piston and washer. Remove the
old cartridge. Put a drop of shock
oil on the shock shaft before 
installing new shock cartridge. 

Hold here with needle-nose pliers

Tools Needed

Step 4.
Install washer onto the shock
shaft until it stops. Slide the 
shock piston onto the shaft 
against the washer.  Reinstall
1/4" nut and tighten by 
turning it clockwise.

Be sure to 
reinstall 
washer

Step 5.
If you plan on completely changing
the shock fluid (suggested), dump
out the old fluid from the shock 
body before reinstalling the car-
tridge/shaft assembly. Pull the shaft
  out so that the piston is next to the
  cartridge and reinstall the
assembly into the shock body;
tighten in a clockwise direction.

Step 6.
Note: If you are just refilling your 
                    shocks, be sure to use 
                     Losi 30wt silicone 
       shock fluid (LOSA5224). 
Remove the shock cap and the 
small button head screw and 
washer in the top of it.
Carefully fill the shock body with 
fluid to the top.  Move the shaft 
up and down slowly to remove 
bubbles. Top off with oil if needed.

Step 7.
Holding the shock upright,  push 
the shock shaft in slowly until it 
bottoms out. While holding the 
shock shaft in this position, replace 
the small screw and washer in the 
shock top. If fluid leaks around the 
threads of the cartridge, it is 
probably not tight enough.

Step 8. 
Slide the spring over the 
shock body against the 
shock adjuster nut. Slide 
the lower shock cup onto 
the shock shaft and snap it 
onto the shock end being 
sure that it seats on the 
mount. Reinstall the shock.
