The pics are self explanatory. The wrench shown is a 17mm open end wrench. If the shock stem is not slotted and it's difficult to disassemble, slot the stem with a dremmel tool to fit a screwdriver.

thanks spokes that looks straight forward i never would have figured it out in a million years...i appreciate the fast response...rob

Always a pleasure to help. When reassembling the shock and to avoid scratching your newly painted shock cover, enlist a helper with strong hands to compress the spring down while holding the shock cover in place. This will allow you to screw on the upper mount and once aligned, simply allow the cover to rise up into the mount.

thanks again spokes your the best
