1.Fill shock body 90% w oil and let settle. etc..
2. Put shock shaft at desired rebound position (in my case i wanted none so shaft was only 1/4 inch exposed)
3. Fill rest of way w oil
4. Put bladder on
5. Pull shock shaft down to suck bladder on and hold shaft.
6. wipe excess oil,
7. put shock cap on

And done, this is how I build 8th scale shocks but as I said when I did the d413 shocks this way, there was 100% rebound.

I must say the kit seems to be of great quality so far but the instructions are sub par, especially when comparing to other brands, i.e. tekno
isnt 100% rebound a bit much?
