Most rebuildable shocks have the bladder attached to the end cap, this end cap lets me use this normal set up which makes the shock easier to rebuild.

As I had a new bladder I cut the end off the original so I could use it as a seal on the top cap.
To disassemble the main body first of all you have to remove the dust cap, I used a small pin punch in this slot to knock it out. Be aware it is very soft and easy to damage so go steady.

when you have removed this you can see the seal head, this is retained by a circlip. Just push or tap the seal head into the shock body enough to reveal the circlip and flick it out.


Then just pull the shaft out of the shock body.
