I appologize, but have performed many searches and cannot find an absolute-straight answer.

I split the rubber hose btwn the rear shock and resevoir, I noticed that some oil came out.
My question is: did I lose the pressure charge in the shock through the hose, thereby requiring a complete rebuild? Or can I fix the hose and put some kind of oil into it and the resevoir to get by until I can afford a new shock.

I ask because I would think I would have heard an obvious "WHOOSH" and the oil would have shot out, not just dripped, if the pressure was released.

Thanks for your time,
Kyle

You are gonna need to send the shock out for servicing. Not a rebuild unless you want it done also.

There are several shops listed in these pages that will work on the OEM shock.
