Topic: Shock removal question

[zoo mob]

Do I need to take any special measures to compress and secure my rear shocks before removal? I don't want them to spring open when they pop off. Thanks

 No for removal, yes for disassembly.

Prop up the rear wheel/swingarm assembly before removing both shocks     Once assumes you're already on the centerstand or a bike lift.

Its basically just a frame with shocks on it at his point, rear wheel is gone etc. Do I still ned to prop up the swingarm?

Only if you don't want it to fall suddenly when you remove that last bolt.
