[Closed] Removing Rear Debonair from Capra

Prob a really stupid question but better to ask than to co*k it up!

Rear bottom shock bushing has play in it so I started to take the lower bolts out. To get one out you need to stop the opposite side from turning. One bolt is out but how do you get the other side out as you cant stop the internal bushing from rotating. I'm guessing you just need to gently tap it out or is there another trick? This is what I did with my old Stumpy but this bike is a little more expensive so just want to make sure I do it correctly.

Cheers

You mean Monarch RC3 right? Debonairs don't work well with the Capra frame design (apparently).

Just push the bolt out with an allen key or whatever. The bolts should screw into each other so once you remove one there isn't anything holding the other in.

If it isn't coming out easily try and remove the weight from the bolt (by holding the front triangle up)

After finding an exploded drawing on the web I can see its pretty (very) simple. The short bolt screws into the other one, so as mentioned above it just a case of pushing it through. Was worth asking though...
