Rebuilding piggybacks, bleeding trapped air?
About to dive into a piggyback rebuild, specifically a king piggyback. I've worked with remote resis before and getting the trapped air out from the resi is pretty cut and dry.
What about a piggyback? Any ways to bleed out the trapped air? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have never played with a king, but I have done shocks with short reservoirs by filling up the bottom of the shock to the top of the resi then jamming the floating piston in. It wastes a bunch of oil and makes a huge mess, but it works.

Yup, what frank said, except I don’t find that I loose any oil or make any mess. It probably depends on relative size of the shock body vs reservoir.

Makes sense. So basically like plunging the piston and the seal head to remove air with a regular shock, you just plunge the ifp on the resi first to get rid of the air.
