06 apex gt ohlins rear shock

[rustinpeace]

ill be taking ou suspension soon. any way i can check to see it is where it should be? being that it looks rebuildable is it also pressurized? or should i just reinstall how it is?

 

[maim]

there is no pressure in it. any seals are in there for grease retention.

 

[rustinpeace]

ok so is there a way to test it when out?

 

[maim]

it needs to slide back and forth by hand. if you cannot move by hand, it needs to come apart.

 

[rustinpeace]

OK so more of a dampener then.

No its just like a transfer block but finer adjustments. Do you have a manual? Sag is measured at the rod with your spanner wrench which has a scale on it. But the sag is adjusted using the spring preload adjuster on the ONE main shock.
