Rear shock rebuilder


Guest

Recommended Posts

Greetings

               This is an alternative rebuilder to Apple. Quoted me 139.00 per if you send good core. Approx half price of competitor. Seemed very credible when I called. Worth a shot! 1-609-462-7412. Good luck, Greg

Apple sleeved my master cylinder a few years ago and they have been doing a lot of Rolls-Royce parts for a friend's shop. Fast and knowledgeable.

 

I like to disconnect the lever shocks and use a squirt oil gun to fill then through the plug hole. I actuate the level while I fill. They usually pump up and work fine. If there is a little leakage at the shaft you can try wrapping some cotton string around the shaft close to the opening. It can absorb the fluid and help seal it.

 

I wouldn't rule out pulling the upper outer pin and trying to revive a pair of front shocks the same way.

Is he only doing knee shocks like I believe Apple does or can he rebuild OEM tube hydraulic shocks as well ?  That would be a find so one could keep the ride stock without going the harsh gas shock route.

You would have to contact to find out about tube shocks, as I never inquired about those. Wish there was a place to actually discuss vender credibility, as someone's actual experience is very valuable toward making a decision of who to bet hard earned money with! I'm only going to say I'm happy I found an alternative knee action shock rebuilder and I'm not the only one. Prolley a low percentage of negative, but if your the percentage. Just sayin'. Maybe just hopeful/wishful thinkin'!
