Hi,
I'm looking to put new "shocks" for the AHC suspension on my 2001, 100 HDJ . I am at this moment going down the road of putting Mr T ones back in so the AHC still works with confort/ sport setting, but may reconsider following others thoughts.
I have been through the Max Ellery manual and this has conflicting info for front and rear removal and also trawled the Mud forum but still have concerns.
The Ellery advice for the front removal is, to drop the ride height whilst the wheels are on the ground to low and switch off the engine. Then jack up and remove the 2 nuts holding the AHC linkage to the top of the shock then remove the top 22mm "shock" nut and then bottom nut, remove the old one put in the new.
Question is, by dropping the vehicle to the low setting, will this release the pressure in the system or does it still require bleeding at the back of the spheres?
Also on removal of the rear shocks, there is no mention of dropping the suspension to release the pressure which doesn't seem right?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
