Shock rebuilding

[woodsracer144]

How hard is it to replace the o-rings or seals in the rear shock?

First thing is finding the parts. Then you just have to take time to bleed the shock properly when putting it back together and also have the equipment to recharge the nitrogen. If it is something you will not be doing very often it is probably just easier to let someone like C&D service the shock for you. jmo

I agree with somethings its just better to have someone that does it everyday do it for you. A service is not that expensive and you will have the peace of mind that nothing was forgetten.

i just want to know if i need a special tool to take it apart... i have a buddy who races stock cars and has the nitrogen to recharge it... i just need to add seals in it... thats all... and i think i can get it done my self... just dont know if i need a special items...

Every brand of shocks take different tools.

Just take your time, stockers can be taken apart without special tools. I have a couple at home I have taken apart.
