Couldn't get my shock and dog bone bolts undone so had to get a garage to do mine. Typical Japanese problem, they seem to have an adversion to using anything remotely resembling grease. Suggest a good coat of copper slip on all the moving parts whilst you are in there and then its done. Pete |

Use the ABBA Stand in the swing arm if you have one available it makes the job a lot easier. |

Aha, good point, I was thinking of a paddock stand.

Re: changeing dogbones
The swing arm will drop a little so the rear tyre will be resting on the ground (the ABBA Stand takes it off the ground). Though I can't honestly remember if it will do that with just the dog bones being removed as I am usually swapping shocks so take the whole set up apart anyway. As a tip, a block of wood comes in handy to stick under the rear wheel to raise it up a bit and make refitting the suspension bolts a little easier.
