First thing's first... here's a picture...anything look out of whack?
The left shock is upside down. NO idea what historical event caused that one....
Anyways when I try to turn the top nut on that side it just spins the whole bolt. There doesn't seem to be anything on the backside to grab onto. How does this come off?
The hardware is very different from the other side...I tried that but I couldn't get the nut to budge. The entire assembly moved good when I applied a little torque. It looks like it was spray painted so it might just need a bit more torque...but I thought I'd check in here first to figure out for sure how to remove them. The bottom nuts loosen easy enough.
Also, these shocks look to be quite compressed...I imagine I need to jack the bogie up a bit to decompress them? The new KYB shocks I want to put on are significantly longer.
Any insight greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
