SV Rear Shock "Rebuild"
Ok so there was a bit of doubt on whether an SV shock can come apart.
Well heres the proof that it can.  All you need is a spring compressor and an adjustable spanner (thats about a 24mm lock-nut in there - a big open-ended spanner would also be good for that)

Its really only a Re-Springing...... But some people thought it was impossible to break the SV shock down as pictured in the photo. Sorry if I mislead.

Re: SV Rear Shock "Rebuild"
Yep, but then you put it back together with a different spring and the damping's all to ****. Probably

Re: SV Rear Shock "Rebuild"
THough to be fair, the damping curves aren't great as standard so maybe a different spring would work better
