Rear Shock for my Glee
« on: March 03, 2019, 11:53:18 »
After a visit to Kwackboy yesterday who fixed my rear brake issue he informed me that the shock is now leaking  :GRR:

Does anyone have one laying about that they don't need ????

Thanks in advance peeps

Show it a bucket of soapy water, that'll shock the poor fu*ker.

I could always use your method and bodge it with some silicone sealant  :eusa-doh:

The dirt is holding in the oil. Cleaning would make it worse .

wait until it is empty and or not leaking and trade it in  :smirk:
