How do you add air to a Rock Shox Pilot XC fork?

Question

I have a 2003 gary fisher tassajara that i just got and it has a rock shox pilot xc fork. It has zero air in it and i need to add some but it is quite difficult with a normal schrader valved bike pump, any help here? Do I really need to use a shock pump for this? I only need like 20 psi in the fork.

Also is it possible to change the oil in the fork easily?

Answer 1

The old school pumps have heads that fit, but no way to see how much pressure you ve got. I have been using one of those car air compressors. Have to be carful though because you don't want to go over n blow those seals. Also its tough because a lot of air escapes when you take the pump out. You can get it to work though. Thats me take wit out usin the real tool.
