LOL, I did try by hand aswell, but NO, I'm not He-Man so failed. :lol
Bit of a pain as I only thought the top mount needed drilling out, had to take it to a bike shop to have the lower one drilled and a new bolt sorted for it as the Yammy one was about 1/4" too short to support it.
All on and done though now, just needs setting up, preload is about half way and there is a bit too much sag, but it now feels a lot better damped, so I think it will be nice once I can wind it up.
Front end is also dropped about 10mm so I will level it back out to normal once I've jacked up the preload some more.
I think it will turn out to be a top mod for the money.
