start with the piston half in.
fill the shock.
slowly pull the piston out making sure you don't break the surface of the oil.
fill the shock 90% full and slowly work the piston up and down a few times to remove any remaining bubbles.
top up the rest of the shock so it's a little dome on the top.

repeat for the otherside and compare the 2.

then fit the screw to the cap and fit both caps to the both shocks. test. if they feel the same which they should and there is no air great. if they get hard at the top remove the screw a few turns to let some out and work a tiny bit out. much easier to remove oil instead of put more in I feel.

done this method a few times now and got my shocks really really smooth without even having to remove the screw in the cap to bleed them.
