OIL SEAL DRIVER ATTACHMENT AIR VALVE OIL SEAL DRIVER CAUTION Place the shock absorber in the hydraulic press on the upper clevis, not on the case. NOTE Spill as little ATF as possible to prevent air from entering the shock. Air in the shock will cause the damping to be too soft. The oil seal will not be pressed out if there is air in the ATF or if the shock absorber is not completely filled with ATF. Remove the oil seal and case guide. Check the case guide for wear or damage.
