I cant find anything on how to do to add nitrogen to the Walker Links, If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.

Do you have the Nitrogen tank with gages and tools (needle tool) to do the refill?

I dont have a needle tool, i will get one. how does the process go.

My WE's have schrader valves. Get a no-loss schrader valve setup and put 175 psi in them. Easy-Peasy. Schmidty Racing has all the stuff if you call them.

Do you have a picture of the internals? I have rebuilt many dozens of Gas shocks for customers just never did the type you're asking about..if it's similar in design to other gas shocks you'll need some other tools then just the needle, the on-line pictures look like they may be the needle refill type not the Schrader valve type, may be wrong about that however, if the internals are like regular gas shock type and gas is low or depleted chances are the internal piston is not in the correct position any more, the gas holds it in place as does the oil if your type uses oil, and you will need the seal installation tools and depth gage as well. The gas went somewhere.
The tools I use here were over $700 for the several different brand shocks we rebuilt, that includes the Gages and Gas cylinder/tank.

Now that I enlarged the Walker Link pictures on my larger desktop computer I see it is the Schrader valve type..sorry.

Many tire shops have nitrogen and are able to put it into shocks

I just rebuilt my front Walker Evans shocks tonight. Schmidty Racing is where to get the seals and 10w oil. You will need 3qts to do fronts and rears… so just get a gallon. Don’t bother paying the stupid amount for the IFP tool. I built my own by welding a nut to a piece of conduit. Rocky Mountain ATV has a great video on how to rebuild. I refilled my shocks with Argon because I have a ton of it for TIG welder. I have been using Argon for many years and it works fine. Walker wants 200psi in my shocks.

You'll still need to set/adjust the IFP height.

OP was asking about Walker links, not shocks. Walker links are an emulsion shock if I’m not mistaken.

That's why I mentioned we had not rebuilt that type..emulsion shocks would not have oil but may still have an IFP, however I'm not 100% on this.

I have one Walker link that has lost it's resistance. I read where you just send back to them for rebuild. If I ever get around to it, I will update.
