    Okay,
    So the Ikons are getting a little long in the tooth and need a rebuild.  I can buy the rebuild kits from Ikon  no prbs.
    IS this hard to do?  Anyone done this before?
    cheers

    Got Ikon's myself, one of the best upgrades I've done. I would imagine that the rebuild kits come with instructions. 
    There's probably a general YouTube video too, trick is always trying to find a good one though!

    If you can compress the spring to remove it, and as they are designed to be disassembled (need to make a pin spanner), then the rebuild
    will be easy !

    The issue is how to refill with the correct weight and amount of oil, and then pressurize them with Nitrogen - (that is if they are gas
    pressurized, and if not, they should be !) .
