Hope folks don't mind, but here is another question:
I have 4 rebuilt shock absorbers to put on a 36 standard (FC)--or at least they are supposed to have been rebuilt. They came from a warehouse and were advertised as being old rebuilds. There is evidence of them being worked on and they have some fluid in them.
1) What fluid to use in them? I have several cans of NORS 1930's vintage shock absorber fluid--use this? Or, use regular hydraulic jack oil? If the original shock absorber fluid is used, can hydraulic jack oil be added later?
2) Are the shocks filled to the brim--or does one need to leave an air gap?
3) Do the shock arms need to be worked back and forth while putting fluid in--to make sure completely full?
Thanks!
