Tried to rebuilt the DHX again earlier, this times its worse than before and pumped to 150psi I can hardly move the shaft into the body.

What am i missing here?

Using 7.5wt oil which should be fine.

There's a photo guide to rebuilding on the mtbr forum. Might be worth a look there.

Have you matchd oil viscosity with the original or just picked something with the same wt on the label? As I understand it, rear shocks are more sensitive the the wrong oil spec than forks.

Other than that thought, I can't be much help I'm afraid.

Could it be that the IFP has moved?
