So I was fixing my stuck down DHX, and another mechanic picked up the damper body and cycled it when I had no air in the Boost side. So now my oil is emulsified. I need to bleed the sucker, and I've never done it on an air shock. What's the trick here? I know it's easy on a coil over, I've done swingers and regular DHXs before. So do I have to disassemble the whole shaft and reassemble the thing in an oil bath, or can I simply open the bleed port, drain the old oil and cycle in an oil bath to bleed it?

opening the bleed port would proably work fine ,my buddy has the same forks and was able to fix his that way.
