Hi Rob
Many thanks for the links through and detailed – so remove the caps and drain down; I’ll need to check on line for exact oil quants (assume it’s not measured on air gaps). Something for Xmas break. Think your fork compressor is a great idea!
Swapped over the shock last night – all generally good had to release the ABS pump to get the top bolt out; no top hat only a sleeve on the rhs that needed gently tapping back with a long punch/silver steel rod as it lined up with the shock bolt hole (hope it’s now drawn back ok when I did up the bolt). Bike rides a lot better now and have some final adjustments to make at the weekend and maybe properly grease the bearings that I didn’t do last night – annoying not to be able to get rid of the slack in the rear suspension even after fitting new bearings (last year).
Thank you for all your advice.
Myford – amazing what you can do with one!
Have a good weekend
