Noleen shock help

[proflex252]

I got the same kit from bensbike ebay.com

And I had two O-ring kits in it. But unfortunately the wrong size.
Fortunately I only had to change the oil, the seals were OK.

Thanks for the pic kiwi, for 7.99 us the filler kit is a bargain, but postage will be the killer.
I'm thinking of using a shock pump hooked up to the noleen filler kit when I get it.  Would it make a lot of difference filling the shock with air instead of Nitrogen? :-/
Has anyone recharged a nitrogen shock with air before?

Am I just setting myself up for future troubles???
Cheers,
Luke

The postage was really low from the US to Germany. I had expected more.

And you can fill it with air. Nitrogen is for preventing the oil from oxidating but a swimming piston is seperating the oil from the air so it is no problem.

You can read all this stuff in my shock service guide that I posted in the files.

Thanks Matti!
I reckon my Noleen will be riding again in no time!  I just have to wait till my filler kit turns up!

Hi proflex252.
I've only removed one screw and I'm already stuck.

It says to Push the damper-piston-fairlead on the lower side of the damper-cylinder inside with a stub object, so you can see the lockring.
I do not know where the piston fairlead is or even what it is?  Could you help please.
