Just get some red o rings.. these are the standard ones. Don't bother with the blue MIP ones as they tend to swell up more than the standard ones. Take all the plastic bits out with the shock tool.. if you dont have one you will need one for the rebuild.

Sand all the burrs off the plastic bits if there are any if the shocks have been built poorly.
Insert the first plastic peice seperately from the rest, then put the rest of the components on the shock tool with some shock oil to lube the o-rings. Better yet, use greenslime too.

'Click' the components in place and put the shock shaft in.. use some shock oil or greenslime on the shaft threads so they dont tear the o-rings.

Use shock oil and bleed as per the manual instructions.
