|   Help needed! Shock related question... Help plz. | Hogmeister
Aug 2, 2003 10:29 AM | | Hi.
The bike is a 2003 Stinky.
I have to change the default spring on my 7.875" FOX Vanilla, but the pressed-in sleeve of the upper shock bolt is blocking the spring.
I suppose that I have to press it out / tap it out with a hammer, but that's not the problem.
The problem is: How do I press that sleeve (or whatever) back into the upper shock eyelet???
Help and ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks. |

Large channel-lock pliers can work too if they spread wide enough to open the full width and still have a fairly flat face to the reducers. They sure are pressed in tight when new.
