Well I installed an Ohlins in the front of my skid and I'm thinking I installed it 180 degrees off since the refill nipple is pointing down at the track. I'm thinking it may rub the track. Is this installed wrong??

An interesting reply I received from Ohlins when I emailed them this picture.

Flip the shock end for end . Have the valve up top of the suspension See if that works better. It's not Ideal, but you might have to remove the suspension from the sled and remove the springs from the shocks . Yes big pain in the butt. This will allow you to cycle the suspension with out the springs pushing back just push the bolts through don't tighten the nuts . This is what HYgear told me to do when I bought used QS3 shocks and it didn't look like they would fit Via there instructions they sent . Release your Torsion springs also .
