Another Newb Question
« on: December 31, 2009, 03:24:59 PM »
How do I remove the shocks, I have not tried it yet, but I want to make sure I don't need any special tools.


Spring compressor?


Thanks

No special tools, just a wrench.  Once the rear wheel is off the ground there is no compression on the shocks.  You only need to compress the springs to disassemble the shocks.

Cool, that's what I was looking for.

Thanks
