See, I have questioned this about having the shock shaft out or in or half-way or wtf....

501X and 511 manuals have always shown and stated to pull the shock shaft out, then install the cap. Associated B4/T4 manuals want you to push the shock shaft in most of the way and install the shock cap.

I've obeyed the manuals of both manufacturers over the years. Any differences do you think?
