I have a manitou metal rear shock and a swinger 4 way. The bike in question belongs to a mate. He got the swinger second hand and it has a funny looking shock eyelit on the end of the piston. Theres no room for any of the usuall shock hardware to fit in. It has an m6 hole in it no room for any bushings etc. Was thinking of swapping over the the eyelit from the metal shock. It looks like it will be the right size.
Question is i have removed the air from the swinger and i presume i can just unscrew the eyelit off the shaft with out too much bother. With the metal there is no easy and obvious way to remove the preasure from the shock. I presume it is nitrogen charged. How do i this without the shock exploding and taking my head off
