Default rebuilt shocks on my Revo....

I've just cleaned out my shocks and rebuilt them. This is my first time doing this and it went well.

My question is if i don't have any lubricant for the shaft or seals; will it do any damage if it's dry?
I've got them all clean and dry right now awaiting fluid.

Thanks

Rebuilt meaning you replaced the piston, shock shafts, bladders ETC. OR just cleaned out the old oil?

If you need to push the shock shaft through the bottom bladder, get some of this and slather it on the shaft first. If not, you should still be fine but it's still a great idea.

I rebuilt them, not just changed the oil. They were leaking.
I'll go get that green slime you speak of.
I'm dying to take her out for a spin thats why i was wondering if it wouldn't hurt with out the slime.
I'll go pick some up.

Thanks rctori
