This is a great video. Unfortunately when I went to reinstall the reducers in the rear of the shock, even with a good press, they started to go in sideways. Had to resort to a gentle hammer to get them to straiten out. This causes the mail hole to mushroom, so the bolt won't go thru and now I need to get a set of new reducers. So word of caution, if you have to apply pressure, use something that wont interfere with the main hole in the reducer. Also, if I was sent a bike with a working shock, I would not have had to deal with this in the first place...
@@crucialbbq2216 I got it, I just had to use an actual punch, and make sure you have the eye of the the shock well supported, either vise or bench, and then you just get a clean smack on the reducer
@crucialbbq2216 yes, just make sure you are suing am actual punch, and you support the eye on a table so it doesn’t move when you wack it with the hammer
