repressurize bumpershocks
 
2 Attachment(s)
so i let the pressure out of my front bumper shock cuz i was getting in the type two air dam, it was put on back order so i decided to get the type 3 when they release it. now i had to figure out how to put pressure back in the front bumper shocks, unlesss u can get the screw started and tighten it down in a 1/10 of a second then ur screwed.
im sure this wont be used much but for those that need to i hope it can help
(the fabrication of how to on my problem took me a bit of thinking)

so first things first, u need two pressure valve stems from diaphramed water tanks(got these at lowes)/ 1/8'' pipe tap/ type R drill (or an 11/32 will do) and a wrench or two

take the bumper off and drill your hole out with type R drill in the front of the bumper shock (dont go to deep not sure if there is a hydrolic bladder)

tap out your hole(with the 1/8 pipe tap u should make sure u dont go to deep the threads are tapered and it will self seat/seal itself)

insert air fitting and ur done/ not really

now on the bumper(pic two) drill out the center with a really big drill so the fitting will clear into the bumper

did this on my 83 280zx not sure what else this is applicable on
