Guys,
As part of my tear down on the Baja 5b, I disassembled the shocks cleaned and replaced the fluid(Baja shock oil not silicone based). I had a leaker and figured they all needed service. Anyway, one shock wants to retract back into the shock body. I'm using Fast Eddie bleeder caps and have fiddled with this shock for hours last night making sure to bleed all the air out of it. I was successfull with the other three rather quickly! All I can figure is that maybe the piston holes(2hole piston in front shock) are somewhat plugged or the outer seal that snaps into the groove is wore out? I'm at a loss. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
