Curti Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would like to remove the endcaps of the mid 30's Delco lever action shocks. There must be a socket tool with splines to match the end caps. Has anyone ever seen one of these ? There are companys that rebuild these shocks, I wonder if they remove the end caps or just flush out the old fluid. Advice is welcome.

Richard1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd take one to a tool store. There are weird sockets out there. I used to have one for a weird oil pressure sender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 When a lever action Shock is sent to rebuilders, does any one know if the shock is completely dissasembled and rebuilt or just a shaft seal replacement to prevent leaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes, I am familiar with both businesses. I recieved 'rebuilt' shocks back from one of them, and I believe the end caps were never removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
