Place the shock in the calking gun with the top of the shock on the hand trigger side.
|
|
Tighten up the shock until it is firm in place (with out compressing the spring)
|
|
Use the calk gun to compress the shock until the bottom chrome ring has about a
1/2 to a 1 inch between the plastic retainer with the two groves on opposite side.
|
|
It is easer to grab the plastic retainer on the top of the two groves (inside of
where the chrome rig would sit). In doing this you will not take a chance
of messing up the appearance of the plastic groves. |
|
This is where to use the tile pliers. Grab the plastic with the inside of the tile
pliers and twist off the end of the shock with a screw driver going through the
bottom bolt hole.
|
|
There are no teeth marks on the inside of the tile piers and the jaws open to the
perfect width. This way, the plastic retainer will be unharmed. |
