Warning: When drilling the front shock absorber, you must use safety glasses. The gas inside the shock absorber is under pressure and can blow metal filings into your eyes and face when drilling.
1. Place the shock absorber on a flat surface or with the piston facing down.
2. Drill a hole with a diameter of 2-3 mm at a distance A (40-50 mm from the edge), shown in the figure, to release gas from the shock absorber.
