Funny thing about those nasal cannula thingamabobs. I cut a length of that
small tubing off, and found that it will insert snugly into the dispenser
top of the Moss brand shock oil. Makes a very clean way to add oil to the
shocks!

The problem is that the opening is a relatively small on on the side. I
found the best way to add oil was to use some medical supplies I had hanging
around (not used :-)
I used a 60cc syringe as one might expect but instead of using a single
piece of tubing I used what is the small twin tubings from a nasal cannula.
They fit into the whole quite well and by having two small tubes instead of
one big on it allowed for air to escape and not be in competition with the
oil coming in. It was a lot quicker and much easier. I used 20wt Motorcycle
shock oil but I guess any hydraulic jack oil is OK. I can send you off these
things for next to nothing if you needed them, I have great access. This all
being said however, You will still need to break down and get new shocks. I
went used instead of rebuilt as the rep of rebuilt units is not good or they
are large money. I found some excl. used ones and theye were very easy to
replace.

I also want to try & replenish the oil on the front shocks. I bought one
of those old fashioned oil cans with the long spout but I don't where to
fill the shock.
