If you need nitrogen, Go to your local paintball store. I gurantee you they have nitrogen tanks. To fill up my nitro tank it cost $5. I have no idea if they can or not, but wouldn't hurt checking it out.

I have an eric gorr performance handbook that goes into great detail about shock service.The book was like $30.It is for dirt bikes but I bet the procedure is the same.

Lonesome, your local Race Tech service center is Dionne Racing, Cape Coral, FL (941) 574-9749. This is suposed to be the best one in Fl acording to Race Tech themselves but you can go to racetech.com to find other service centers in your area. Maybe theres one close enuff where they will show you the basics.

Hmm, Cape Coral is a pretty good distance. I wonder what they would want if I ship my shocks to them. At least that is a start. Thanks for information.
I still can not help bu wonder if any body here has any experiance with them. With all the knowledge on the forum, there as to be some one who has doen this before.

4 Wheels? Huh?
the rebuild is easy...just buy the seals and bushings you need and replace them. the hard part is the oil and gas refill, make sure you got no air in the oil and buy a bottle of nitrogen and regulators

I though a press and spanner wrench at least was a must.

That is my next choice. I'll have to either find a dealer or wait until I go home again.

Time to revisit this issue again. It's been quite a few years and I'd like to know if anyone has learned anything on this or not. Anyone???
