Removing shock

[thelonius]

Do I need to remove these linkage bolts to get this rascal off? They are really, really stubborn, and I did spray them w/ that PB stuff.

Just one of the bolts holding the dog bone (linkage piece that looks like bone) so you can swing them out of the way and get at the lower shock bolt.

Just a question, but if the linkage bolts are that hard to remove, when was the last time the linkage bearings were greased?

While you have it apart it is a good time to grease the linkage and swingarm bearings.

Thanks, both of you. I got the shock off, and I will grease the bearings.
