The manuel instructions for filling them with fluid say remove front cover and replace with one that has a fill plug(!?). I have wire brushed all 4 and cleaned with solvent. The front cover has NO fill plug. The only openeing I can find is toward the top back of the shock and it has a slotted head. This appears to be the relief valve comparing to the manuel. I'd like to keep the shocks, but can't figure out how to fill them. | | |

Just pull off the covers and drill and tap for small pipe thread. Would be a quick and easy solution. | | |
