Filling rear Bugeye shocks - any tips?

Share this page

Remove em from the vehicle and service on the bench. Was a long thread on just how to do this several weeks ago.
 
Any way to do this while they are on the car?

(I thought the thread was on a slightly different situation - sorry)
 
There's a plug in the body to gain access. The FILLER plug of the shock is on the top lid at an angle forward. The plug is in the rear bulkhead I believe. (Of course, if they aren't leaking they don't need topping.) Peter C.

Peters the main man on shocks.
 
I can't seem to find my access point. Is it in the rear trunk area right on side where the fender comes down?

Thanks for the help everyone!
 
On a Bugeye there are no "access" holes or plugs. Peter C. must be talking about 1500's or another car!
 
OK - off they come! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif

If they are leaking then Peter will get a call.

Thanks everyone.
