14.With the cylinder head assembly pushed
down against the piston, carefully insert
the piston rod assembly into the cylinder.
Slightly rotate the piston rod to allow piston
to enter shock body bore. Figure 20.0

NOTE: Slowly push the piston rod and assembly into shock body. If you
push it too quickly, you will displace the internal floating piston (I.F.P) from
its original position, which can affect damper performance.
15.Slowly push the piston rod and assembly into the shock absorber body,
until the cylinder head assembly bottoms on the cylinder counter bore.
Use a slight up-and-down movement, if necessary, to allow all air to
pass through the piston assembly.
16.Use interlocking channel pliers to grip the
cylinder head. Turn the head clockwise to
tighten it securely onto the shock absorber
cylinder. Figure 21.0
