Yes pictures will be excellent if you don't mind .

kenali, unscrew the cap where the red arrow is. Drain out the oil thats in the shock. Then replace it with the heavier oil. As you add the oil slowly move the piston up and down to get all the air bubbles out. Be careful not to over fill the shock or you'll have trouble closing it.

Status: offline 		The stock oil is probably lighter. I think 50 would be a good weight. You might want to just check with your LHS to see what they think for your weather conditions up there. It also depends on the way you drive and the terrain you are driving on. Its fairly easy to change the oil if it ends up being too heavy or too light.

Here is a another option http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HPI-NITRO-MT2-Air-Filter-3-0-Engine_W0QQitemZ150224722903QQihZ005QQcategoryZ34061QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The brake can be adjusted by turning the screw on the end of the shaft. You should tighten just enough that the wheels still roll freely without any drag.
