When you remove the screw make sure the small plastic washer comes out too. Place the damper in a disposable tuperware type pan with 1 quart of your chosen oil. Open hole needs to be face down. Wear gloves, work it back and forth alot making sure not to suck the bubbles back in ... Also I found found even when it was done, the pressure made it move back when I pushed it away from the bracket.
+1 on what Kento said. Just keep working the damper back and forth until you no longer see bubbles. Take you time, it can be messy if you rush. I left my extended when I put the plug back in it. Be sure have plenty of paper towels to clean of the damper. Good luck.
all the above, + rubber gloves help.
p.s. i went straight 30wt and redid it to straight 40wt. perfect for ME.

90w for me. no gloves, no shirt... getting the screw back into the hole while submerged is a little bit of a trick... kept loosing the screw at the bottom of the oil cup.

....and don't forget to have some kerosene or other mild solvent nearby, for wiping that baby off.
I use 90 wt.
It works perfectly, which leads the question...
...why have I spent $475.00 bucks on a HyperPro damper?

Damn!+1 It can take some time if you use 140w oil.
140W
Maybe you should drain the oil and weld it solid
