Hi I have upgraded my shock on my 16 five, however I’m trying to get my old shock off and I’m having a nightmare doing it.
The shock will drop of fine on the rear bolts but at the front I cannot for the life of me get it off. I have tried using a hammer, I’ve tried using a rubber hammer handle to lever the front of the shock off, I’ve tried using a cloth and screwdriver and it’s still stuck. I’ve even tried threading a cable tie around the front shock mount and still no luck.
What is surprising is the bikes just got back from orange for a respray and orange recently removed it and reinstalledinstalled it so it’s not as if it’s not come of the bike in years.
Any advice would be appreciated.
