How-To: MCS Remote Reservoirs Nitrogen Refill

For those of you with (MCS) remote reservoirs that would like to check/refill nitrogen, I finally made a video after a test run couple of weeks ago. I included the tools and parts needed to do this job, which can be easily finished in under an hour...

Should be called out that when filling the canisters that the car should be fully off the ground so the suspension is at full extension. Additionally the canisters should be filled when cold or at least cool to the touch.

With such a long hose, coupled with what appears to be a large diameter hose you are wasting a lot of nitrogen in the line. The overall system should be more compact so it is more efficient.

Good point in the suspension being preferably unloaded when refilling the shocks. I check the pressures 2x a year, so probably not worth the investment in a shorter hose vs the water nitrogen.
