Whenever drilling into a front shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas in the front shock absorber is pressurized, and could spray metal chips into the eyes and face when drilling.
1. Place the shock absorber on a level surface or with the piston pointing downwards.
2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in}
hole at point A shown in the figure so the gas can escape.

Point A: 340 mm {13.4 in}
3. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in}
hole at the point B shown in the figure to drain the oil.
