I hear ya. They don't go together quite as easily as a Tamiya TRF shock. The problem seems to be the bladder itself. The outside diameter is so big that it hangs up on the shock cap so when it hangs up it deforms allowing air in right when you begin to screw down the cap. The Tamiya shock bladders are just the right size in that they stay put even while screwing the cap down.
