how to bleed and/or service the xb/xt shocks?

[carp boyz]

just received my new xb/xt shocks and was wondering how to bleed them,are they bled the same way as the HPI baja shocks?


I also noticed on these shocks that your unable to remove the whole shock shaft without removing the top nut and piston,is that the proper way to remove the shock shaft if need be? my old mt shocks are basically the same as the baja shocks and your able to split the shock in half as one piece ie shaft,piston and nut all stays together


last but not least,are the shock shaft ends replaceable without replacing the whole shock shaft?


any info about the xb shocks would be greatly appreciated,not really kean on working on them blindly or servicing them without any know how or knowledge of these type of shocks


thanks

Yes, you can do it the same way you would as a HPI shock.

I believe they're top load shocks, so I would bleed them from the top cap. Basically the same way you bleed a Baja shock, only from the top instead of the bottom.

The shock ends are probably included in a rebuild kit. I don't know if they carry one for the XT/XB. This is all I could find...
