[QUOTE="squeak12, post: 747248, member: 12742"] Interesting bump stop, but makes sense with old Bilstein. In the last picture, you can see what appears the cap or dust cover at the bottom most portion of the body. Without seeing the business end, it looks to me like it should pop off carefully with screwdriver or pocket knife with the tip still on it. It would likely be held in place by an o ring or spring clip that just need force to get it off. Under there will be another piece with many names but we will call it a seal head. With no pressure on the system, it should push inward, likely requiring force and finesse to not knick any surfaces you shouldnt. Once down a 1/4" or so, a clip will be revealed in the body that needs to be popped out to get the internals to slide out. Then you will need to remove a nut then the piston and shims, install spacer, then put it back together and recharge with nitrogen. For mounting them, they don't necessarily have to be pinched, but they need to held securely to not jostle around. I would think of a way to mount them very unconventionally, personally. It was designed for a different style of bump stop so there's that glaring issue, but here is a picture of a Triton chassis I saw at KoH that I saw it first. [/QUOTE]
