[QUOTE="Deuling, post: 801243, member: 9981"] FYI, this is super easy. Takes about ten minutes per shock. And that was doing it very carefully and making sure to clean everything up so no dirt got in the rezi. Drill out the little *** of plastic that's stuck in the set screw. Remove with small flat blade screw driver. Then slowly remove the set screw, once a few turns out the pressure will start to bleed off. Wear safety glasses just in case, as I did loosen one too far and it shot across the room... LOL. [ATTACH=full]240889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240891[/ATTACH] Then press down on the blue cap so you can remove the snap ring. Then pull the cap (I put the set screw back in, and used an allen wrench to spin it while kind of pulling up at the same time, it eventually will come out) [ATTACH=full]240892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240894[/ATTACH] I found that about 5/16 depth worked good on the tap, so the threads just tighten up before the fitting bottoms out on the cap. [ATTACH=full]240895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]240896[/ATTACH] Reinstall cap, remember to push it down so the snap ring can easily be installed, it will pop back up when you put pressure in. [ATTACH=full]240897[/ATTACH] Hope that helps. I have done 4 of these now for my blazer. Which they look way cooler on :ROFLJest: [ATTACH=full]240898[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
