Need to rebuild my rear shock before this season and don't really have the extra cash to send it out. So if it's not that much work I want to do it myself. Has anybody done their own who can give me any tips as well as what's needed to pull it apart? I looked in the manual and it's useless for this, it only describes how to remove it and what to look over on the outside.

Also, are there any special tools I'd need? What oil to use and how much gas pressure it should be set to after putting it together.

I asked over on Banshee HQ and nothing so far.

Thanks for any help.

Stock shock from what I remember is not worth the $ to rebuild. I was at a local race shop picking up my bike when the owner came over to answer a question that the tech had he had a shock apart and all these little O rings and washers on his fingers, If all shocks look like that on the inside I wouldn't want to open one up.... At least not if I had to put it back together again.

Bah, cant be that bad, I've done a Dirt bike rear shock on my RM250 and if its anything like what's in your banshee shouldn't be too bad,
There are something like 3 seals that you replace, clean it , refill with oil, and charge with Nitrogen to the manufactures spec.

the hardest part was removing the shock from the bike..

The stocker is a high quality shock that responds very well to rebuilds. It's the front shocks that aren't worth rebuilding. Sorry I can't help you on the rebuild process. Never done that myself.
