I'm attempting to rebuild my 7100 following the Bilstein rebuild guide. Everything was going fine until I tried to refill them with oil. The instructions appear to be innacurrate including the example.
- As I understand it, the rebuild guide states that I should put in 700ml total on a 10" external reservoir shock. Putting 200ml into the external reservoir, then the remaining 500ml into the shock body.
I'm finding that I can only fit 100ml into the external reservoir (almost 200ml w/ the hose full) and only 550ml total. That's an overflowing shock body.
The example doesn't doesn't add up using their own numbers which leaves me questioning the whole guide.
I'm still assuming that I'm doing something wrong, but was wondering if the 10" w/ reservoir fill values in the rebuild guide are correct?
Thanks for the help.
