Thanks guy's. Ya'll want to come over and help. Do I need any special tools? Would like to do this myself. The easiest way is to just replace the shock. Or remove the unit and send it to someone that specializes in rebuilding. When things wear out or break on my bikes, I always consider it a chance...

The longer you ride the bike with a blown shock seal, the sooner that shock stops any damping chores and becomes nothing more than a spring holder. If you don't mind riding a bike with a wildly bouncing rear wheel, that's no problem. If you like having the back tire on the ground and giving tractio...
