Sounds like he didn't use the set screw to plug said hole...Watched my dad try the emulsion style but oil drained out of the bleeder hole
The bleeder hole on the side.
I think Pauly is right. If it is leaking out of the side hole then the o-ring for the cap is not installed correctly.
Your first post says "TKR8702 comes with o-rings but it just goes around the outside lip."
This makes it sound like the o-ring was installed on the shock cartridge and not placed inside the shock cap. If that is the case, then thats the problem.
Watched the Ryan Lutz emulsion shock video and he puts the large o-ring on the outside. It does seem too big to go on the inside of the caps.The o-ring was a royal pain to get seated properly in mine. I wasn't very impressed. It was almost like the 0-ring was too big. Trying to get the tiny o-ring on the screw was not fun either.
Thanks this is exactly what I needed. Saving diagram for build.This is a screen shot from the eb48.4 manual.

- Step one; insert o-rings into caps.
- Step two/three; shows the o-ring in the cap
If there is a side vent on the cap the o-ring needs to be up top.
Go to teknorc.com they have all the manuals online and you can get the full details then.Thanks this is exactly what I needed. Saving diagram for build.

lol you swore up and down how great emulsion was and how you'd never do anything else again! ha ha.. kind of sounds like a pain.
For now i'm sticking with the easy standard setup... I was considering going to emulsion because i figured when I swap my plastic caps to the alloys it would bring the bladders off with them, but it didn't. I was able to simply swap the caps w/o having to do anything else luckily... usually on my other RCs the bladders pull of with the caps!
I just installed the Tekno aluminum caps on my 410.3 shocks. The o-rings were installed in the caps. The problem is you can feel the shock cap bottom out on the wider rim on the shock body before you start to compress the o-ring in the cap. All four of my shocks now leak air through the little vent hole on the side of the cap. Extremely disappointed since those caps weren't cheap. It appears that the threaded sides of the caps need to be 1- 2mm shorter in length so the o-ring can compress before the cap bottoms out on the shock body rim. Thinking of trying a wrap or two of teflon tape on the shock body and reinstalling the caps. Either that or put the plastic back on and have caps milled down about 2mm.Thanks this is exactly what I needed. Saving diagram for build.
