Shocks:
1. Boots off and Ball cup off.
2. Fill with oil and move piston up and own a few times.
3. Leave on shock stand until oil is free of bubbles. I've never used a shock pump.
4. Put the cap on with no screw in, screw it on tight.
5. Put on a 3mm spacer over the piston rod and push the piston rod up until the threaded portion is at the bottom of the 3mm spacer.
6. Screw in the bleed screw.
7. Remove 3mm spacer.
8. Boots on and ball cup on.
Job Done..

The 3mm spacer stops the piston clearing the oil when bleeding the shock. If you do this you just drag air stright back into the shock.

Also the 3mm spacer gives you consistency between shocks.
