I am trying to remove the rear shock from my Five RS 2014, Rockshox Monarch RT3. I've got the front off no problem but the stanchion end just won't budge from the frame mounting. The two bolts have been removed and it rotates freely. Anyone any ideas! Happy New Year!

Its quite a tight fit, wiggle it from left to right to rock it free.
Make sure youve removed both bolts for certain too.

I had this with a 2013 Five, i used the rubber coated handle of a hammer to lever it out.

Thanks guys, in my sleepy hungover state I'd not taken out the threaded bit, only the two bolts!

Worth being aware that the two threaded bits are usually different lengths too, and shouldn't be mixed up.
