Bilstein 7100 rebuilding

Postby cw72 » Wed Feb 06, 2019 10:16 pm

Hey all, I have some 14” travel 7100’s that are in desperate need of a refresh. My rebuild kits just arrived along with a gallon of oil, everything was back ordered it took almost a month to get it all.

Anyway, was wondering if anyone has rebuilt these, I did find the instruction page online. Secondly, and most important really, is anyone working in their shop any upcoming weekend from now that has a bench top vise in a corner that I could utilize for a few hours? No room my garage to even put something like that (apt complex).

Thanks guys.

Very cool, that would be really helpful. I’ll plan on this weekend. Was going to head to the local 4x4 place for nitrogen but if you don’t mind that’ll save me a trip. Thank you.

Thanks Justin, I’m going to link up with him tomorrow. Turns out I’ll be out of town the week after I had forgotten. Appreciate the offer though.
