Shocks

[Vern1030]

Anyone rebuild there own shocks? After baking the shock the lead in the corners of the chamber is gone. The kit gives you new lead balls how do you reattach the lead back in the corners?

I smash it in place with a punch. I have a 1/4 inch face one that works good.

Make sure the one way ball valves on the earlier designs are functioning.
