hello!!
i am going to be fitting a complete set of new springs and dampers this weekend nd wanted to know how the front shock comes out of the upright...
is it just an interference fit?? will it require a large hammer and oil to get it out??
cheers!!

theres a locking cap at the top, undo it with a good pair of stilson grips, the shock should come out with a pull
