gords:
Are you swapping the suspension from Big Blue to Challenger and vice versa?

If my experience is anything to go by - getting the original (?) shocks off of Challenger without damaging them could be tricky - on the front at least!

The problem is, the shock absorber is rubber mounted top and bottom (obviously!) which made it extremely difficult to undo the bottom mounting nut. Plus the fact that there is little to no room to get a spanner in there.

I didn't need to worry about the old shocks, so I used a chain-type oil filter remover to grip the shock absorber body. That, of course, pretty much trashed it :roll:

I don't know if there's another, non damaging, technique... :-k

Jake:
No i'm not
I have a complete set of spare suspension to go onto blue.
Just need to get the Scorpion kit off safely  :roll:
