Hi, Tony. I've never rebuilt lever shocks, but I wanted to pass on a
related thing I did that greatly helped my TR6 lever shocks. I drained the
standard grade oil from the shocks and filled them with some heavier weight
performance shock oil from Paeco. It really helped firm up the rear end
without the jarring buckboard effect that you get from performance springs.

Subject: Rebuilding my Lever shocks
Hi all,
I am thinking of rebuilding my TR4A lever shocks myself. I have no
experience
with this, but since it is rather expensive to get new/rebuilt ones,
I figured I
really can not go wrong trying it myself.
Two questions. 1) Anybody know how to disassemble these things?
What
mistakes should I AVOID doing?
2) Anybody know a source of "rebuild kits"? If not,
what size
O-rings are used? What type of rubbber should
they be made of
in order to survive living in the hydraulic fliud
(oil)?
Thanks!!
-Tony
