If i donīt use the bleed screw method the secret is to fill the completely full?

this is on another thread but here is how I do it:-
I have
not drilled out the hole for the bleed screw, i set the dampers without doing that.
i fill the dampers 2/3 then slowly raise the piston allowing the trapped air to escape while making sure the piston does not break the surface of the oil.
when all the air has escaped i then fill the damper cylinder to the top. the oil at the top should look concave.
pull the piston all the back down.
top up cylinder if necerssary.
screw cap on.
hold the threaded portion of the piston and push all the way up to your fingers.
when you let go the piston should come back half way down by itself.
damper set.
easy.
hope this helps
I have done it this way for over 20 years and never had a problem.
