Hi Matt, thanks for the response, I already purchased an all balls seal head kit, I remember seeing a tutorial with pictures a few years ago, and I think I can probably do it, I just need a little guidance, the drilling, if I remember correctly is just to remove the circlip, I dont remember having to drill the shock body, but I may be wrong....I plan to have a local shop refill the nitrogen, so thats no problem, any help you guys can give me will be super appreciated, as I am trying to fix this shock for my son, I am currently not employed, so money is very tight right now, I have no choice but trying to fix this myself. Possibly there is someone else out there that has instructions with pics or can provide me with some help......PLEASE!! Rick.
