CJ Strut Question How do you dump pressure on the strut SAFELY. I have the hollow machined adapter which works great for adding pressure but not correct for draining struts. I have a fear of blast fluid and air in the face to risk sticking anything in the valve. Also is the service valve normal "right hand" thread into the strut? I tried to just break it loose a little... wouldn't budge though? So, I questioned if it was left hand thread for any reason? Further what is the purpose of hte double nutted - hollow bolt on the top of the strut? Schrader valve maybe??? I wasn't sure, and wanted to ask before tampering with it. Also just wanted to verify, proper fluid level, service procedure and correct pressure. Any help comments appreciated. Thanks, Tryon ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:05:06 AM PST US From: Herb Coussons Subject: Re: Yak-List: Just how cold are you?? --> Yak-List message posted by: Herb Coussons Doug - I'd be interested in the heater you posted.
