Hi Cameron, I have not long come across your videos..

[@uweterp6694]

Hi Cameron I know that your video was posted a few years ago. But still, you don't want to cheat, because where the different ones come from. We have greatly enjoyed your videos as my son and I restored his 2005 Honda crf 450r. We are from Denmark. Continue the lovely videos that are both educational and your advice on tools that can be used instead of special tools.

Hello from England and learnt a lot from watching this cr250 rebuild for my 96 rm125 rebuild so thanks for posting your videos 😊

[@aaroncrain2343]

Hi Cameron, is it better to put the shock together like this or when you fill the The reservoirs with oil and then push the bladder in with oil spilling out, then pumping the shaft to get air out. What’s the better way to do it?

[@boystoyz8922]

My trick is to watch you!!. Good video man. Makes me want to rebuild mine. You are the Man. 👍

Hello from Texas! (Since you asked) Great video, as always. Super clear and informative and a perfect step-by-step tutorial on a complex (even mysterious) topic. QUESTION: How well does your powder coating hold up to the constant flexing of the spring?? I had wondered if it would eventually crack and peel off, or if powder coat will somehow flex with the spring's compression and expansion. Once again, THANKS CAMERON!

[@jimwolfe8733]

Not sure if this has already been addressed. But the process used with the pointed punch is called staking. "Being that we've removed the peened over threads - lets lock the nut with several stakes"

[@Achilleas7]

Hey Cameron, i hope you're doing alright! Do you have any tip or warnings for removing the final nut that holds the shock shaft to the lower body on a Kayaba shock? (YZ125 1998) A) i want to oven cure coat the body and not air cure (different bottles) but also, B) to remove the clicker at the bottom to survive the process and also check if it's working correctly/lube it, it looks like the only way is through there. (no other visible way to remove) I think the nut is a 20mm socket and i have a CruzTools suspension wrench exactly matching it, but i don't know a) which way to turn to untie, any chance it is reverse? b) should i, must i, can i heat the spot? Is there supposed to be red loctite there or something, because these arms of mine can't seem to beat this one free! (i haven't been riding much lately ;-) Thanks for everything brothah! Cheers from Greece

Good old New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦 love the vid man been thinking of going through my suspension to see if it needs anything my rear looks good no oil or anything but the front is leaking some oil I might just get some oil and 2 new oil seals to fix the front suspension and just bleed the rear and refill the shock with oil I’m trying to fix the bike on a budget lol love the vid man keep it going
