DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

[Stewhoppy]

Thanks Jef. I checked mine at the weekend and fronts were at 200 and rears 180. I guess I should get them charged to 240psi

And these were rebuilt in December 2018, so probably not charged correctly by the rebuilder.......

200psi is what your looking for, the thread reflects the update.

Anybody done the rubber eyelet bushings on the rear shocks? Having a time getting new ones in without damage.

Any tips or tricks for breaking loose a stubborn top bearing cap? I have a gland wrench but the shock body is loosening from the bottom cap not top. I’ve tried a vice on the shock body, ratcheting strap, but to no avail. At this point I was considering buying a new body and bearing cap but I don’t think I’ll be able to pull the IFP and valve stock out through the bottom.

I'm late to the party on this, but I made up a hammer wrench for the application. It's posted a few pages back.

ETA- It's the 2nd post on pg31.

I was wondering about the rubber eyelet also. I couldn't find any resources on it.

Great instructions, thanks!

Did anyone happen to save the pictures that accompany the instructions? I am going to start a rebuild next weekend and the pictures would be a huge help!

I think when the forum changed a while back it didn't like my links, and won't let me edit...
