So recently Yohei posted pics. of his City shock rebuild on Facebook, he mentioned he runs a Blog with all his City related stuff, & he's sent me the link : http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/garagefind_cit ... 66845.html

That will take you to the shock rebuild section. Translated it tells how he drills a hole in the units, drains the oil & replaces with new, adding 10% more than the amount drained, threading the added drain hole & plugging up with a grub screw. Very good site to look through, lots of pics showing how he's restored nearly every part of a City. Check it out.

Thanks for reminding me to look at this again! I'm almost tempted to give it a go myself.

Same here. If I ever moved to Japan I'd wanna live next door to Yohei...he's one of 2 City Guru's that I know of over there...very skill...much knowledge

I worry that this will not be a fix for if the seals in the shocks are just plain stuffed.

Well there's always Coilovers...Reiaozora in Jap. runs Honda Life units on his T2 : https://www.facebook.com/14864622515662 ... =3&theater

Alittle more Info, Yohei says he used Hydraulic Hoist oil in his rebuild, the actual stuff he used was ' Super Hyrando 32'. Said he had heard regular engine oil may cause leakage from the damper seal.
