Gold Wing rear shock preload actuator service with fluid refill, air bleeding, adjustment range restoration, and reinstallation.
I show how I service the hydraulic preload actuator for the rear shock on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing. I cover removing and opening the actuator, adding fluid, bleeding trapped air, restoring its adjustment range, and reinstalling it. I also include practical tips for recognizing lost preload travel and getting the actuator operating through its full range again.
