I never got to disassemble that part... looking at the pic I took of the shock, it does seem to be an o-ring there at the top. Or maybe I'm mistaken, and what seems to be an o-ring is rather the part were the shaft threads into.
Just an additional thought though: if you keep the shock vertical...
Hi! I'm not really sure of the place you refer to...
1. can you check out the pic I placed on the 2nd thread (if you click on it, it will expand)?
2. If you still need some advice, can you take a pic and point out where the oil is leaking?
Hi!
For the sock to become hard I see only these options:
1. currently the actuator (lever, cables, cables adjustment) that controls the open-traction-control is not set-up/working properly
2. there's too much pressure all together. Both the user + chamber, and the inner chamber filled with the...
Hi!
First, sorry for taking so long to return here... somehow the email-auto-update stopped working and I assumed that there was no development here. Also, my shock only required maintenance now! =)
Here's what I did to open the 'big' canister (neg. chamber):
1. I had to buy the rubber...
These were aprox. the oil quantities I used:
(-) chamber: 20ml of 15w oil
(+) chamber: 10ml of 15ml oil
I placed it in with a syringe during assembly through the user air valves (while the inner valves are not yet assembled). Let me know how it goes and if you use other quantities.
Last time I posted I was going to the local shop for a refill!
Well, that's what I did! It was an unusual request for them!
They charged me 20€ for it and called it a special favor, but it was worth it!
The shock is working fine, holding pressure!
Missing in all of this is actually...
I've put all the bits and pieces back together!
Holding pressure and I can stand on my bike! :D
The thing that's missing is to restore internal chamber pressure!
Because of that, shock feels like it is always on the full travel option with none or little rebound control.
Anyway... I've see...
After visiting the local shop, and with their help, all o-rings were remeasured and the pic posted on a previous post updated. They had everything needed for the shock at around 20€!
I already started assembling it and it should be finished tomorrow!
Feeling excited! :weee:
This shock is made of 3 chambers, 2 chamber accessible to the user (+ and -) and another high pressure chamber which resides inside the piston sleeve and contributes to keep the shock 'closed', is where the damper is built and also has something to do with the traction control (lock to tc)...
Thanks Golob!
That's a finding!
Here's what I think is the post where you got the presentation (correct me if I'm wrong please):

Hello!
I've managed to get into the shock in the best of my knowledge. I didn't managed to get into the internal high pressure chamber because I don't want to ruin anything. This still has to work I get it back together! ;o)
However, I do have a list of o-rings to replace =)
There are some...
Hi Alexis_dh (and everyone)!
I'm hopping to hear your experience soon!
Following your lead, I started a new topic regarding servicing the scott genius tc rear shock (equalizer 1) on a new thread:

Hi everyone!
I got tired of having to send my scott genius rear shock to the shop for service, while having to
- wait a couple of weeks for it to be ready
- pay around 100 for the delux service. This was the amount I payed last time I did it, 1 or 2 years back. Have another bike, so the...
I'm very interested to know!
I have both the equalizer 1 and 2 on scott genius... so I'm wondering if it is quite similar to what you have done.
I would prefer to do service the shox on my own... I'm sure it would save a lot of waiting and non riding time, and money too!
I have some...
