solution.
1, I use tamiya air remover and shock oil.
Soak O-rings with shock oil in remover, and pump.
This dilate O-ring.
2, make a small hole with grue and drill (1.8mm) two spacer/1 shock.
Well, all R12 shocks are leaking oil... since I dont have a turning machine, do the asso spacers fit the shock better??
I'm guessing the O-ring cant handle the movement the spacers let the piston do. So having better spacers should solve the problem.
