I need to remove mine. The foam rubber bushing on the shock piston is gone, and the metal washer that is on the piston makes some really annoying noises with that rubber gone and no longer holding it in its place. One of mine's in for the recall. Should be ready next week. I need to remember to order that foam shock piston bushing when I go to pick it up.

(If I don't write it to myself, I'll never remember!!! ) my shock bushing is kind of crusty too. I was thinking about using one of these as a cushion bushing. http://energysuspension.com/universal-products/shock-eye-bushings.html   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #462606 Aussie John (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 903 Re:easy way to remove rear shock 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Question when this bush wears out does it hit realy hard on potholes like the suspension bottoms out,Ive got 57K Klm on mine ,Thanks John   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #462618 B L U E (User) ~ The Punisher ~ Platinum Boarder Posts: 2156 Re:easy way to remove rear shock 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Don't forget a to use Spring Compressor when seperating the shock and spring... Note: I used a 2x4 under the back wheel while it was jacked up to remove the pressure from the spring to remove the bolts holding the assembly. TIP: And make sure when you put the lift jack under the bike, you do not block the front of the spring assembly, or it won't come down off the bike.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/02/25 08:27 By B L U E.

Anyone wanna take that bet??? Whattayathink, Green, which bushing'll work on our shocks?   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #462623 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4404 Re:easy way to remove rear shock 1 Year, 2 Months ago   John, The bike my bushing's gone on is my two-up rider, and yeh, when we bottom, it's quite a crash. The bushing would cushion that some... at least the sound of it anyway!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access.
