OUR SHOCKS THAT HAVE COVERS WILL STILL COME APPART THE SAME WAY.

Click to enlarge@ 1USE A THICK CLOTH WRAPPED AROUND THE TOP SHOCK MOUNT, AND LIGHTLY SQUEESE THAT END IN YOUR SHOP VISE, WITH THE SHOCK POINTING UP, (THE SHOCK WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN)

THEN HAVE YOUR BUDDY PULL DOWN ON THE SPRING ENOUGHT TO GET YOUR # 14MM OPEN END WRENCH ON THE LOCK NUT THAT WILL APPEAR AS HE PULLS DOWN. "NOT TO BRAG, BUT I DID THIS ALL BY MYSELF" (:
