Re: PROBLEM WITH DUAL SHOCK (BUSHING)

I had to remove my shocks to get my tranny off. What I did to get the bolts off was this: I had to get a little creative so bare with me. I used an engine hoist (cherry picker) to raise the bike high enough to get enough clearance to get some leverage on the bolts. The s.o.b.s were tight! I used a nylon sling and wraped it around the frame just behind the fuel tank and raised the rear end just high enough to get the job done. It was a little hairy because I did not want to drop the bike :-X. I used some weights as a counter balance because the cherry picker wanted to come off the ground. It worked for me, but you have to be very careful. I used a box end wrench and a 4 lb hammer to break the bolts loose. When I got the bike high enough I cribbed it so the rear end would not rock. good luck
