44. Slide only the tip of Phillips Head Screwdriver into
hole at end of shaft. Hold the piston assembly
under the top--out plate and lift upwards. Slide the
piston assembly onto the shaft of the screwdriver.
Remove the screwdriver from shock shaft while
supporting the piston assembly. (Fig. 18) Slide a
12--inch tie wrap through the entire piston
assembly. Secure the two ends of the zip tie
together and remove the screwdriver. There are
many pieces to the piston assembly, and the
assembly order of these pieces is critical to the
proper performance of your shock. This step
ensures that the proper order is kept. Place piston
assembly on a clean, lint free paper towel.
45. Slide bearing assembly off of shaft. Use extreme
caution not to scratch inside of the bearing
assembly when passing it over the threads at end
of shaft. (Fig. 20)
46. Slide the bearing cap and bottom out bumper off
of the shaft.
47. Using proper shaft clamps, mount shaft securely
in vise. (Fig. 21) NOTE: A very high level of
clamping force is required to prevent shaft from
spinning in the clamps. Allowing the shaft to spin
can cause permanent damage to the shaft and
may cause the shock to leak.
48. Heat eyelet flange with a torch to loosen the
thread--locking compound that secures the eyelet
to the shaft. (Fig. 21) Extreme caution is to be
used when operating a torch. Refer to the torch
manufacturers owner’s manual for proper
operation instructions. Follow all safety
guidelines.
49. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the eyelet
from shaft. (Fig. 22) If shaft begins to spin,
increase clamping force of vice and repeat
previous step. DO NOT remove eyelet
completely. Once eyelet is loose, allow it to cool
before further handling.
