Let all the pressure out of the ressi. Remove the banjo bolt holding the ressi to the shock body.
At the top of the shock is an aluminum cap that is very lightly pressed on, gently pry it off.
This revels the shock seal under the cap you just removed.
Gently push the seal body down into the shock body a little to revel the seal retainer clip in a groove at the top of the shock body.
This clip looks like a big wrist pin clip.
Gently remove the seal retainer clip.
Now you can pull out the guts of your shock.
Do it over a pan to catch any oil.
Pour out all the old oil from shock body.
Clean out the shock body and shaft/ valve stack by spraying with brake clean only.
Blow off with compressed air...
repeat….repeat….repeat till inside of shock, seal head, shaft /valve stack is TOTALLY CLEAN.
Unless the valve stack is really gummed up bad no need to dis-assemble the valve stack.
If valve stack is to be dis assembled lay all washers out in order of removal for ease in the exact same assembly order.
After cleaning make sure to Tighten shaft nut till tight....
don’t know the proper torque…my elbow clicks when its right
DO NOT USE CARB CLEAN OR SOLVENT this could damage the seal and any plastic or rubber components. Brake clean is meant for rubber type components and will not hurt them and cleans very well.
