:cheesy: that coilover really does bother me with the stickers. I guess new ones are in order.

Awesome write-up
Another good knowledge thread!
I just got lost at the reservoir servicing part .. So once you get all the reservoir seal back, put the cap back on and use compressed air to push back the piston all the way front to the reservoir (pipe end) and then fill the shock with oil.., am I right?

Great write up. I just got king 2.5 shocks on the rear of my JK. So it is good timing. I will have to keep this right up in mind when it comes time. Thank you

Yes, exactly. This is the depth King says it needs to be set at. It also just makes bleeding the air out of the shock a lot easier

Thanks Eddie! Yea it’s a really detail oriented task making sure everything is just right and no air is left in the system. Don’t want a squishy shock lol
Glad to help. I’m assuming that the process will be very similar for the 2.5 to the coilovers. If you have questions when the time comes post up here and I will be glad to help the best I can

Great write up, thank you! I’m about 5k away from tearing mine down. How expensive was the kit and oil?

Cool, thank you for the info. As I get closer, I’ll give them a call and get it ordered up.

As jkzinger said I paid about $150 with shipping for the seal kit I listed and 1 gallon of shock fluid to PA.

Good to know. Cant wait to pull the Kings off the Accord and rebuild them. Nice write up buddy!

Ok is there a special way to remove dust cover? I had one spin right out and 3 that just spin but don’t pop out.

I got them by placing a hammer against the shock body where the dust cap threads in and smacked the other side with dead blow after a few hits to each they came apart no problem

Mine twisted off by hand. They are threaded so they should just spin off.
