Rebuilding OEM shocks

[Brentwood Bob]

Here is what I did:
Core is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, new seals and stem packing installed, inner cover fitted, refilled with 85-140 gear oil, reassembled, resealed cover and stem valve, tested for function, adjusted, then painted. Then sorted to match a correct set of original functioning shocks, ROAD READY.
