rear shocks

(1/1)

POTASH:
decided to put new rear shocks today, when id cut the bottom nut off with my grinder and tride to pull shocker off top one, i thought this should pull off now ,but as i pulled it off the top rubber stayed on with the metal tube that goes throuh the middle of it :-> i had to cut all the rubber off first then get the tube off, what a job, finally started to get it moving with half a tin of wd 40 and a pair of big grips, but then only half came off the other bit i had to chiesel off :doh: looking forward to doing the other side :-> why is nothing ever straightforward :( 

lee celtic:

Yes the plumbers gas torches are a must for anybody doing DIY mechanics. You can heat things up till they are redder than satan's [naughty naughty [-X]

Even better if you can get hold of its bigger, angrier and increadibly satisfying brother AKA Oxy-acetaline.
