[Mike321]

Does anyone have rebuild instructions for the aforementioned shock?

Has anyone rebuilt them at home?

Thanks,
Mike

im sure there are videos on youtube as well...IFP shock can be serviced in 15 minutes once you know how.

I've found the video's on YouTube are missing critical steps such as bleeding the air out of the shocks.

Most of the new Performance shock use a needle to charge, discharge the shocks.
