Default How to rebuild shocks?

Can someone tell me how to rebuild oil filled shocks?

I have them all cleaned at the moment.

Do I just poor the oil in and screw on the cap? Or is there something else to it?

Also what wieght oil do most of you use in a ST, front and rear?


**I tryed searching for speedmunkey's version of how he does it, but cant find it. I remember he told sxomeone in detail how to do it once, but I cnat find it in search.

isnt it that after you pour in the oil you have to bleed the shocks to remove air bubble?
