Yeah the left side was easy the right side the entire shock is flexing as I turn it I sprayed some wd40 on it so hopefully it comes off tomorrow lol

You should have started with the file

Haha yeah I hope so Chuck its a long walk otherwise.

 

Eric put a open end wrench on the shock bolt near the preload adjuster... you know by where a the spanner wrench would go. If I remember correctly there is a place for a wrench.

 

WD40 is not really a penetrant. It's a Water Displacement. Hope it helps tho.....

 

Isnt it wierd? I didnt even think about the leaves until I was lookin thru the pics. They were all crisp as hell like they just fell off the tree. Pretty wild for March. Did de-badge it but the front end is just dropped 2"

Did you get that wheel on bro? Pics?

 

Story, you have those rear axle covers I see. Do you or anyone know why they dont fit 2006 models? I want them but cant get them cuz they dont fit my 06.

 

Yep, got the wheel on, sent you a "thank you" for all your help with the wheel. I didn't have to trim my brake bracket, I think I have about an inch clear, weird.
Will send you some pics later on tonight man!

They will fit if you trim one of the front tabs where it hits the brake caliper bracket. I ran them on my '06......

 

still have them, or you sold them?

Any anyone know of a good bike mechanic in or around the boston MA area?

 

Believe I sold them some time back.

 

will the arlen ness ones fit as well with a trimmed tab?
