Aluminium shock caps leaking!......HELP

So i installed aluminium shock caps on my MT, and I followed the manual, which I'm sure i'm bleeding it incorrectly!.........ANY HELP would be golden!

Which style shock caps? Emulsion? Bladder?
Regardless make sure that the seal (o-ring if emulsion, bladder otherwise) is seated properly. I overtightened my shock caps and pushed the bladder out of its seat, causing the shock oil to all leak out via the bleeder hole.

I bought the EMULSION with the shock cap O ring and the tiny O ring and grub screw priced at 22.97 through AMAIN!

You can build any type of shocks with these caps. Just don’t use the large o ring if you use a bladder.

I think you also have to restrict the stroke a bit so the shaft doesn't pierce the bladder.
