I don't quite get how you fill them up then pull the shaft down... best to start with shaft fully extended (down)
fill them up and leave to settle,
put cap on tight, push shaft in full compression, fit bleeder screw and tighten, then pull shaft down... pump a few times, then repeat bleeding process a few times until rebound is minimal.
don't pull shock shaft down whilst bleeder cap is open as you'll only draw more air in and end up with very spongy shocks and need to keep bleeding them!
You really need to pump each shock a few times before hitting the track each time to get a good emulsion of air and oil... otherwise the shocks may be spongy for a few corners/laps depending on how hard shocks are working on track.
