It's easy enough really. Here goes stepby step.
1. Fill oil into shock until up to abou 2mm of top.
2. push shaft up slowly, wait 5 seconds and pull back down again slowly to let air out from under piston.
3. Wait for air bubbles to get out of the oil.
4. Push shaft until piston is about 2-3mm from top of shock (top up with oil until it's just over level with piston up)
5. fill cap with oil up to threads
6. put cap on shock quickly and tighten quickly.
7. Finished.
If you have too much rebound unscrew the cap a little and push the shaft in a bit and re-tighten.
You can play around with the piston height before you fill and tighten to get differnet rebound rates, which will give you different handling characteristics.
