My homebuilt tools for vacuum evacuating the trapped air and filling shockabsorber with oil. Real shock parts in plexiglass housing. Must replace o-rings that leak.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you're pulling the vacuum/oil from a place on the shock which wouldn't usually have a port? Also why does the floating piston move to the opposite end of the piggyback reservoir if you're pulling a vacuum, that one really confused me??
Please correct me if I'm wrong about this video. Is what's happening here the cycle of vacuuming an oil reservoir (the metal tank on top) which is attached to the shock to pull all the air out of the system where it rises to the top of the reservoir and then pumping pressure into that same reservoir forcing oil back down into the shock and is this achieved by the air in the reservoir rising to the top and the oil being pumped in via an outlet at the bottom of the reservoir to avoid pushing air back down the tube? If so, it almost all makes sense, BUT, why then is the entire process done under pressure? Starting to think I've gone wrong somewhere. Please help I really want to tune my shocks properly and really really want to understand them.
However old this video, this is so helping me sir. Thank you very much
Most shocks have a bleedport, or a port for a rebound adjuster (I have adepters for those).

Great job on your video! Have you or could you do another one explaining your setup in more detail?
WTF
