- At the rear, loosening the hub bolt and unbolting the swaybar can help to make more room for the rear shock.
- Unclipping the ABS clips - see post 136
- The proper method for taking off the front swaybar to endlink bolt. This bolt will spin endlessly unless you use an allen wrench and a box wrench since it is in a ball joint. |
I considered doing that but realized that you could pretty easily put one foot on the control arm and push down and still reach under the fender with your arms to push down on the shock and get it under the lip of the fender liner.
