Shock Absorber Disposal
Caution: Gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas. Do not remove the snap ring from inside the top of the tube. If the snap
ring is removed, the contents of the shock absorber will come out with extreme force which may result in personal injury.
Caution: To prevent personal injury, wear safety glasses when centerpunching and drilling the shock absorber. Use care not to puncture the shock
absorber tube with the centerpunch.
