    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone ever serviced on of the remote spring preload systems on an 1150?
It appears to be just a simple hydraulic system. Mine may be a bit low on fluid...doesn't move the servo until it's about halfway through the adjustment range...pobably needs a bit of fluid in it.
 
It's been done, just use regular hydraulic fluid for jacks and things.
 
Looks like it wouldn't be too hard...use a spring compressor and preload the fluid a bit. be nice if they had put in a bleeder!
 
I've had to do it a few times, using an old syringe (no needle). After removing the adjuster,run it all the way out, and disconnect the hose. Holding the hose as vertical as possible, slowly add hydraulic fluid. EVENTUALLY, it will fill with fluid. Reattach the hose and adjuster, and you're good for a while.
 
Hey V8...
I did something very simular...Since I had the whole thing out and apart...it wasn't bad.
I used a syringe that would actually screw into the holes where the hose fit...worked both ends back and forth untill all the bubbles were out.
Then Left extra in the slave section and forced fluid through the line
...attatched to the master part and preloaded the fluid a bit there.
When I put the spring back on the shock...I'll bleed down any excess.
I used power steering fluid with a bit of Lucas stop leak...see how that works.
Took lots of picts and will post when I can figure out how to get decent resolution here.
