My buddy wants me to lower his shiver. I tore it down, but cant figure out how to open up the cartridge. I need to get into it to machine a top out spacer. Anyone remember how to open it up?

You can't open them up, they are non serviceable. The main piston is really low-tech, couple shims on each side, not really a "shim stack" though, very crude. You can lengthen some of the marzocchis, I've done this with couplers and spacers at the foot-nuts (ensuring enough bushing overlap though), but shortening is not as easy. There were 170mm shivers and shiver carts, so that could be an option if you can find any of the internals.
