[QUOTE="BajaRacer, post: 1237494, member: 22508"] [b]Charging shocks[/b] Had a little hiccup on my install when I went to charge the shocks. Wanted to share in case any of you run into the same situation. Got the SVC schrader adapters installed no problem. Was careful not to put too much pressure when tightening. To charge I went to the tool I've used hundreds of times. When tightening down on the adapter it snapped before getting tight. Generally you can feel the adapter starting to seat when it reaches the head of the schrader. When I looked into why the adapter snapped the threading for the schrader side of the adapter is too short to allow the tool to seat on the threads. Attached a pic of the charge tool and the comparison between the adapters and what would be more of a standard schrader. So no way to use this tool properly on these adapters. $30 later I have replacements from SVC. Bought 2 so I had a backup. Now the subsequent issue is the protector cap doesn't fit due to what appears to be some change in the threads. Think I am done with these adapters and will look to convert to a standard schrader when I get time. [/QUOTE]
