Before it finds it's way onto ebay.
Maxton shock absorber
I bought it for my B12 which wears a 916 rear end. Unfortunately the frame
conversion rules out this particular unit by about 5mm. That was a £350
mistake.
Basically unused but it has been "resting" in my garage for 5 years.
Usual compression and rebound damping adjustments and purple spring set up

Just go to your nearest vet & ask for a big syringe, mine charge a
couple of quid. Connect it to the nipple with a bit of pipe, crack
nipple open, suck fluid with syringe, close nipple, empty syringe,
repeat as necessary.

You tight Northern ****er. I bought mine from the US, via eBay: got a
dead flash alloy one with a gauge for the price of a basic plastic one
at the time, including postage.

Anyway - get a metre of windscreen washer tubing, stick it over the
nipple and suck, you miserable ****er, suck. Block the end with your
tongue if you need to breathe. Keep an eye on the fluid in the pipe so
you don't get a mouthful. Job done, almost free.

What he said.

I've been bleeding brakes for decades with a simple length of tubing,
and never had any problems.
