small bore shock help

[RICHARD OXLEY]

just rebuilt my leeky small bore shocks with 2 blue o rings in each because
thats what came out.now they are leeking worse,should i have used the
clear o rings, and as there is only 1 per shock do they going first or second.

The blue O-rings need time to swell.So before installing them you should put them in shock oil for about a week.

All O-rings swell a little in silicone oil.If you take the red asso O-rings they are leak free from the start but if two weeks old they have a lot more friction.The Schumacher rings are designed to be right when swollen.

I suppose you have also changed the rest of the seal hardware .
