[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1891535, member: 20013"] Just finished up one of the rears and have a question for the guys who have done it. I followed the steps in the pdf on page 37 of the DIY thread 30. Install the inner piston of the bypass body first [LIST=1] [*]Oil the wear band and place on the valve and carefully push into the bypass body [*]Push the piston all the way down to the bottom of the tube but leave pull tool attached [/LIST] 31. Poor in shock fluid (25.5onces - 750 - 760ML) this volume includes over fill 32. Move the bypass valve up and down SLOWLY to work out any air bubbles 33. Pull the bypass valve up SLOWLY to bring more fluid over to the bypass body so it has a buffer, only a few MM. 34. Install bypass end cap by pushing it down past notch in tube 35. Install snap ring 36. Reinstall main body bypass tube 37. Reinstall and tighten shock screw cap on main piston When i installed the bypass cap (step 34) i removed the valve core because i thought installing the cap would pressurize the chamber and possibly push the IFP down. I had no way to check this but seemed to work. However, when i installed the shock screw cap (step 37) i put an aluminum tig welding rod through the valve hole to mark the height of the IFP. As i screwed the cap on the main body, it started pushing the IFP up. I know we want a little buffer between the IFP and the end of the tube but if i pulled it up .200" (step 33) and then it comes up another .250" when i screw the cap on, is that too much? should i just bottom it out and then screw the cap on and let that push it up for buffer?
