    No need for any impact drivers, just put the shockabsorber under pressure by putting weight on it, and use a 13mm socket to undo the nut.

    Good video thanks. Only thing is I don't have an impact driver. Is there another option to remove the top nut.

      Use a long lever on the wrench. Best idea is to use the a correct tool. If you buy a tool you will use it in the future so it is a good investment.

      see at the 3:00 mark, the base sleeve rotates at the bottom of the spring, there are notches which set the tension and effectivley load or unload the spring.

    would you know if there would be any issues if i want to install a 365mm shock absorber if the factory shoock absorber is 400mm?

      The ride will become weighty at the front end and check for body clearance with full downward pressure at the rear end, make sure nothing bottoms out.

      @@ChrizzOG Yes, when fitting a longer shock it lifts the rear and has a direct effect on the steering and handling, more sensitive.
