Rear shock compression adjuster stripped
The flat head adjuster is stripped out on my rear shock. I have a full replacement for it. Also the replacement one came off another shock. I didn’t drill out the peening It just broke loose and came out really smooth anyways. Just wondering if I should use any thread sealer when reinstalling my replacement. Thanks

Make sure the threads are OK before putting it in.
No thread sealant necessary. Lube the two orings.

Re: Rear shock compression adjuster stripped
One more thing. I can’t find the piston band anywhere. Can I get away without replacing it?

Piston bands are available from places like SDI, technical touch, etc.

You need the band and the o-ring underneath it, 44 mm. There is just one o-ring. Look up Technical Touch.

Re: Rear shock compression adjuster stripped
I went on to their site yesterday and punched in both the e series and h series and none were available to each. Should’ve mentioned that earlier. But knowing that it’s a 44mm band is helpful. Just need to know the rest of the dimensions. Thanks

Don’t worry about what bike a shock was fitted to. Just like KYB 46’s are the same basic fork no matter what bike they came on, so to are the shocks.
