Shock rebuild kits?

Post by AndrewSi »

My runner 10t arrived today. Noticed the shocks were dry, filled them up and found the reason why. They leak like no other. The manual says that the complete rebuild kits are part number 6430, but I have looked and can't find any. However, I found PN# 6440. Will this rebuild kit work with an early 10t with hard annodized shocks?

That's the kit I remember using, iirc the clip was originally more round than square, maybe thats what the 6430 was?But yes....that kit and don't forget the green slime

Yea, the earlier ones are round, that's whats in there now.

Where exactly is the green slime applied? Everywhere?

You can use the one on eBay, that was just a running change AE made. It is much better than the first ones. The bushings are teflon or something like that and much stronger and slicker! Green Slime is your friend! :mrgreen:
