|  HR shocks
Hi there! I just bought HR shocks for my TT.Can someone provide some ''know how'' for make them work.They are stiff as a .....! I toke off the O-ring,put the softest spring,lubed the shaft,but still they doesn't compress/decompress freely.On top of that,one of the shocks,sometimes stuck when fully extended.I'm about to put the stock one back.They worked waaaaaay better. Any tip will be helpful.Thanks! |

Easiest way to get them working is to take them apart, heat up a screwdriver that is a tight fit in the bottom of the shock body and burn the 'o' ring until the stock shaft moves freely. It's a bit extreme but it works for both my sets... Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Jim's method above sounds like a good one. It is a well-known issue with them and many people will advise they go straight in the bin. The little (and I mean tiny) o-rings can be removed, but I tried this and found that it allows too much play in the shaft and causes the piston to bind against the sides of the cylinder. I pushed mine onto a (cold) screwdriver and left them a few days to stretch a bit then replaced them. Similar result but I think Jim's method is more foolproof  |
