So I'v changed over to emulsion with bleeders and in doing so my o rings started to leak on my shocks. This is on a kraton 6S. But today I changed out the o rings with brand new ones and just from pushing the rods through I damaged the o rings. They are letting air in and weeping at the bottom. I tightened the black collar barley and pushed the rod through with oil on it and twisted the rod when pushing it through the body. All by the book.
Now I pump them up and they retract and have rebound. Air just keeps adding to the oil and when I bleed them more oil comes out.
I even used green slime. So I ordered 3 sets, another 20 up in smoke. Not to mention I need to get new oil as there are micro bubbles I can't get out, and another 10 bucks.
Its been a nightmare, I'v rebuilt shocks from other manufacturers but never seen anything as crappy as this. I suspect this is why I couldn't get the bladders to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? Should I go with GMP or Power Stroke? It seems pointless as other than the o rings these should be perfectly good shocks.
Whats funny is when I got my EXB one shock was leaking and I showed Horizon Hobbies they sent me a whole set for the truck. So it must be a known issue.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
