I used a large pair of mole grips on the shock body to stop it from spinning.

Yeah thats what i wass using but it just wouldnt budge..

good old blow torch worked wonders but did melt the old rubber though ...


just gotta put the new spring in now and thats 1 side done.. only 3 more to go.......

On the rear axle - un-do the brake pipe 'T' piece at the top of the axle - dont take the pipes off, just the mounting nut, that way when you jack the axle down with the bottle jack you'll get a bit more room as the pipes will flex before over-stressing the flexi hose.  Then when you put it back on, you'll notice the bolt is waaaaay longer than the 'T' peice - throw some washers under it to raise it up and it'll take some of the strain off the flexi untill you fit a new longer one............

simon15:
cheers mate :)

i have got the new extended flexis to fit too. but all the connections look nice and rusty so may end up splitting the copper pipes and getting new ones..


just tried putting the front back together and looks really awkward till i realised ahhh haaa take the turret off and drop thye shock through the top :)  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

just WD40'd the securing bolts and hoping it comes off in tact :o  :o


also the new 2" springs are the same size as the old ones  :?  :?  :?  :?


Surely they should be 2" taller????

Go buy new turret rings before the shops shut... you'll need them!  :lol:
