Bilstein 7100 rebuilding

Post by cw72 »

Hey all, I have some 14ΓÇ¥ travel 7100ΓÇÖs 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. IΓÇÖll plan on this weekend. Was going to head to the local 4x4 place for nitrogen but if you donΓÇÖt mind thatΓÇÖll save me a trip. Thank you.
