Diamo Restoration Project

The seals arrived yesterday. Today I replaced the seals and searched for info relevant to the type of oil and quantity needed. Hydraulic jack oil is best used in them. To fill them a level 1/8" below the cap nut required 5 ounces per shock. The springs of course are too strong to cycle them off the scooter.

When I get it off the stand, I'll cycle them a few times and check the level.
