Trying to repair the rear suspension resevoir

[Bob Tosi]

So I dropped the bike on a ride, kinda hard on the left side and blew out the reservoir. I was trying to get the cap off to refill the reservoir and re-pressurize the air bladder. Used a little too much persuasion and broke the valve stem off. Also, I couldn't get the cap out, as you can see



Now what?  Comments from the peanut gallery will be tolerated for this dumb ass move. :lol:

howd ya manage that ? if the caps still in and you need to get it out, use some air pressure. put the resovoir in a sock or somthing first. ittl stop everythin shootin out across ya garage and keep everythin in order so you know what way it goes back tgeva. just make sure its free of sock fluff and toe jam before ya put it all back tgeva.

Thank you Rybes, now I know what to use that bundle of singles in the back of my drawer for  :lol:

That's a cracker sir, you'll get a dipstick nomination for that one, I'll pass you my statue at the awards ceremony  

Sorry in a bad mood cause my mechanic has been too busy to change the Steamers shoes   :(
