Default Cheap Shock Air Bubble Remover

Ok. Now I'm just getting way to lazy, but I've seen the air bubble remover Losi sells for like $45 and then saw somebody using a vacuum coffee saver on ebay for $12. Might have to try this as bleeding shocks takes me way too long as I'm way to anal

Fill'em up, push the piston up and down a few times, then leave'em sit

The best bubble remover is... gravity. Not only that, it's already in your toolbox.

Are you looking at getting these things for bladder shocks or emulsion shocks?

I'm still on the hunt for a shock that will work with linked setup for heavy rig but probably going with bladder as more rebound would probably be preferred for my setup.

I use the Tamiya RC Damper Oil Air Remover - Super Long ITEM# 54152. It's not cheap, but it really does work.

You can find it much cheaper on eBay if you wait for it to come from Asia. That's what I did.

I bet this food saver would be a cheap air remover if it's tall enough to hold shocks upright.

I've been going through a lot of old junk and just tossed a vacuum pump food sealer. I think it's still in my main trash...I should pull it out and make something. The pump looks just like that Tamiya unit.
