Rear shocks

Post by Fireman141 » Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:06 pm

Hey everyone i have recently broke down my rear suspension on the CA77 and i was curious if anyone has ever rebuilt the rear shock? or if its actually possible? it seems that all the hydraulic fluid has leaked out of mine and the piston no longer stays charged. any help would be appreciated thanks everyone!

perfect thank you very much. so about how much fluid is used on the rebuild? and have you noted any success of the shock?

I think the Dream uses about 40ml per shock. I use a 15 weight oil in mine and it seems to work well.

If I can't rebuild these do you rebuild them or know of someone who will?

if you can't rebuild them, buy hagons.

Then just paint the top casing red, or whatever color they are supposed to be.
