If you look inside the shock body, you'll see a small lip, which the shock o-ring bearing (part #4662) sits on. I usually fill the shock with oil up to that point, perhaps just another drop of oil past it. Then slide 4662 into place and use a paper towel to soak up the little bit of oil that flows over the top of 4662. Then slide the o-ring into place and screw the cap on. This should get you into the ball park of how much oil you need to fill the shock with.
