Spring clip installed.

Guide bushing installed. Nope, I didn't forget the AFT, I'll be filling it from the top with a small baster. Much cleaner that way.

Installing back-up plate A, the thinner of the two.

I used a small hammer, half-inch extension, and back-up plate B to tap new seal in place.

Seal seated, with groove for circlip clear.

OK, let's do this once more, with a little more detail!

Spring clip.

Installing guide bushing.

Back-up plate A.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/21_Back_up_plate_A.jpg)
Press seal in place as far as you can by hand, keeping it straight.

Use back-up plate B and tap seal in further with light hammer, rotating the shock a quarter turn each time, and taking care not to hit the shaft.

Once the seal is flush, you will need a little assistance to tap it in further. You can use a piece of 1 1/2" or 2" PVC if you have it.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/24_Seal_flush.jpg)
I used a 1/2" extension (since I had it on hand) to tap around the seal, keeping the seal straight by driving it in by small increments and going around the seal in a front/back/side/side pattern.

![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/28_and_then_the_front_keeping_the_seal_straight.jpg)
Continue until seal is fully seated and circlip slot is clear.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/29_Continue_until_seal_is_fully_seated_and_circlip_slot_is_clear.jpg)
Then install the circlip.

It should seat fully in the groove.

To put the boot on, start like this...
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/32_Put_the_boot_on_like_this.jpg)
then rotate it to the proper position (this makes the boot easier to put on).
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/33_then_rotate_to_proper_position.jpg)
Finally, pull the boot over the body of the shock.

Finished with the rebuild, now to fill them with ATF.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/35_Finished.jpg)
I filled them with 365 cc (ml) of ATF using a 16 ml graduated baster.

Filled to 16 ml each time, except the 23rd time was only 13 ml.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/37_Fill_to_16_ml_each_time_except_the_last.jpg)
To do this, squeeze the bulb just a little...
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/38_Squeeze_the_bulb_just_a_little.jpg)
until fluid backs up around the tip...
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/39_Until_the_fluid_backs_up_around_the_tip.jpg)
then release the bulb and watch the bubble slowly rise through the fluid.

I carefully reattached the shocks to the air lines without turning them over.
![Image](http://www.ngwclub.com/gallery3/var/resizes/wingmans/Post-Pictures/album423/41_Shockes_filled_and_reattached_to_air_lines.jpg)
I then reattached the shocks to the bike.

That is all there is too it.
