Shocks
13. Inspect the valves for kinks, waves, pits or foreign material.
14. Inspect the piston wear band and replace if damaged or
worn.
Walker Evans Remote Reservoir / Piggy
Back Shock Assembly
1. Secure the shock rod in a vise with the threads of the rod
facing up.
2. Place the compression valve stack on the rod in the reverse
order of disassembly.
3. Place the valve piston on top of the compression stack.
4. Place a new lock nut onto the shock rod. Torque the new
lock nut to specification.
IMPORTANT: Do not over torque or damage to the
valve stack can occur.
5. Secure the shock body by its lower mount.
6. Set the compression damping adjustment selector to
position “1”.
7. Fill the shock body and remote reservoir 1/2 full of Walker
Evans 5w shock oil (PN 2874522).
8. Apply a thin film of oil to the IFP o-ring and floating wear
band located on the shock rod piston.
9. Compress the wear band and insert the IFP into the
reservoir. Allow as much air as possible to escape as you
install the piston.
10. Screw the IFP tool, PN PS-45908, into the IFP.
11. Hold or place the reservoir as low as possible so the air will
travel upward as you slowly cycle the IFP up and down.
• Be sure to bottom out the piston in the reservoir body.
• Allow time for the bubbles to dissipate.
• Repeat the process until all the air has been removed.
12. Set the IFP so it is approximately 1/8 from the bottom of
the reservoir. Install the bleed screw.
