Did you have success rebuilding the shock Hannes ?
Standard ohlins on an '06 #GG 6811. I've got mine apart to do an oil change and nitrogen recharge. I used a 23 gauge (0.61mm) hypodermic needle to discharge the nitrogen, as I understand it, the rubber bung 'heals' itself and can be punctured multiple times. It takes some effort to pull out the pistons. There was no apparent damage to the o rings or piston rings.
Any recommendations to air bleeding procedure when refilling the oil for this type of shock with a floating piston in the reservoir ? Or oil recommendations (I'm in England, so might not have access to brands available in other parts of the world) I can get the nitrogen recharged at the local mx shop for a nominal fee.
I can't quite understand how to determine the correct oil quantity / level at reassembly.
Not done a shock service before, so any help or advice very welcome. Good to learn by doing.
