[Closed] Numpty guide to replacing a shock

Looking at replacing the shock on my Top Fuel, have identified the correct length...

What I'm not sure about is bushes, do I need to get new ones or can I reuse? And how easy is it to swap / install them?

Cheers

Depends how worn they are, but yes you can reuse them if you wanted to, but as they cost very little though I'd just stick some new ones in to go with you're new shock. Removal depended on type of bushes and unless you have the top hat split type you'll probably need a bush removal tool (at very least it makes fitting removing a doddle). Got mine from TF tuned for about £15 iirc. Depending on new shock, you might need a different mounting hardware kit as well

+1 on tft removing/mounting tool - works a treat.

Cheers y'all

Will speak to TF (which considering couple of riding buddies work for them, should have been first thought!)
