how the hell do u get the rear shock apart to replace the spring

 

in the middle of the shock theres a rod, towards the end of the rod theres a little rubber piece....if you slide that up theres a bolt underneth it. Obviously you need to loosen that bolt but you need to heat it up to break the loc-tite(bolt glue) bond. once you get it hot enough and let it cool down you should be able to loosen that bolt and take the whole shock apart.

 

thanks

do they have that for the front springs

 

never mind they dont i will be doin tomorrow i ran out of time tonight

 

warning - That nut on the inside of the spring is a bitch. I couldn't break the locktight with a regular wrench. I had to by a set of specialty wrenches made to get off rounded nuts to get it off. Sad part was, this was my 2nd fiddy I had done the same thing to. I had tried everything but seemed like heating it up just made the metal softer and easier to round it off.
