Smile TRF501x Shocks / Damper

Could someone please explain or post a link to a post / explaination, of the correct way to fill these shocks with oil as i am having trouble with getting the air out and bleeding them properly.

I`ve built them as per instructions

Remove all air from underneath piston

I fill the oil too the top of the cylinder

Then screw the cap on (there is no rubber cap with this kit , which you would normally seat on the top of the cylinder pushing the excess oil out)

Once built this way when i do the damping motion the shaft is only compressing half way up the cylinder, telling me that theres air inside.

What am i doing wrong , it`s twisting my melon man!

Thanks

Andy
