    Hey guys, I just ordered a new top cap for my rear shock. Is it easy to replace? Just remove that bolt and the cap comes off? Does oil come out? I’m hoping this is easy. Thanks.

    I suggest reaching out to Icon for instructions. Unless it's just a cap to make it look pretty, opening the end of a shock requires specialty tools, new oil, nitrogen, etc. It's like rebuilding it.
