Thx knowsalot! If there's anyone who can help it's you! I've taken the spring off of the rear zilla shock, but now I dunno! Does the head come off the end of the stem? It leaks oil from around the stem and I want to change that seal. I've taken the cap off of the canister and I can see the leaking seal but there's no sense in trying to remove the seal if I can't remove the stem first!! Does the stem come out from the canister? Please please help

can any one please help me?

 

stormnorm,

Sorry, but I have never been into the rear shock of a Zilla before, but I do know that Suzuki does not sell any replacement parts for that shock other than the shock mounting eye bushings and that's it.

White Bros used to rebuild these shocks. You might want to give them a call first on the availability of the seal.

Maybe someone else here has had a similar experience.

 

Now, my local dealer rebuilt my rear shock, seals and all, and recharged it, and I bought some pivot works shock eye bearings........ALTHOUGH, I'm not sure if the seals were OEM or aftermarket, but I do know they were replaced......

 

Thx fasternu. My local dealer has confirmed that they have never rebuilt one of these and according to them it cannot be rebuilt. I know they are full of sh-t. I've seen rebuild kit for these a few places on the net. The only problem is that ordering from the state is EXTREMELY expnsv for us Canadians. Now I only have to find a place up here that can work on these things.
