We've got some shocks from the Bug-Eye (or goodness knows where), with two of them having phillips style machine screw heads on the cover plate and one with slot style.
The Phillips appear to match a PH2 tip in my multi-tip set, but I wasn't able to find my Pozi-Drive set to test them.
The filler plug takes a 7/8" Imperial wrench/socket.
When I pulled the 'phillips' style filler, I found:
- the filler bolt has a single rubber o-ring at the top to seal to the body of the shock
- a 'pin' type item with two flat washers as part of it (one shock had two; the other had one, but perhaps I lost the second getting rid of the existing fluid)
- a spring in the bottom.
So - don't lose any of these bits!
And the old fluid stank - kind of like excrement that isn't fresh, but hasn't quite fossilized.
Per the Wisdom on the is site, I picked ups some 20 wt Motul motorcycle fork oil and have used that.
I'll find my Pozi-Drives tomorrow, and try taking the cover plate off one of the shocks and advise.
