Warning
• Whenever drilling into a shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas in the shock absorber
is pressurized, and could spray metal chips into the eyes and face when drilling.
1. Clamp a shock absorber on a flat surface or with the piston pointing downwards.
2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.12 in} hole at a point
20—30 mm {0.8—1.2 in} from the bottom of the
tube, so that the gas can escape.
3. Turn the hole downwards.
4. The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod
several times up and down and cutting the tube at
the end.
5. Dispose of waste oil according to the waste
disposal law.
Note
• Shock absorber gas is nitrogen gas.
