well found a way to do it,, takes awhile,,but it worked well ,, ride is alot better,,matter of fact better than it has ever been,,did right side first ,,got it out of the way,,drained the left got what i could,,closed and pumped it ,,redrained,,did that three times ,,got almost 11 oz out,,book calls for 10.8 oz, refilled tru the top 1/2 oz at a time,,filled the cap hole almost to the top then steadly lifted the front end while holding the frnt brake it would suck that oil in,,then pumped it very gently, about an inch till i heard a sucking noise,,, repeat untill i had all 10,8 oz in,,took awile but it worked fine ,, and rides nice,,,also did the rears,,found that if you use a turkey injector siringe without the needleit fits purfect into a piece of 1/2" clear plastic tubing and you can fill it and pump the siringe up and down and put the oil in the rear shock that way had both shocks filed in about 2 minute,, by pumping the siringe it forces the oil in and sucks the air out all at the same time,,,really rides alot better than it ever has,,
thanks for this link,,sure was a good mod
