lower shock mount stuck
Permalink  
 


i've got alot of play on my lower rear shock bush/bearing which ever it is, i got the nut off it but trying to get the bolt out is something else, anyone got any advice for getting this out? tryed wd40 with a spanner with a extension extension bar on it and drifting with quite a bit of force yet hasn't budged in the slightest, starting to think i'll have to take it somewhere thats got a press or cut it off

had to resort to cutting it off in the end, even after i'd done that getting the 3 parts of the bolt out was epic!

I've got a spare rear shock if you need one, I think that the spherical bearing is in 'ok' condition but I'd need to dig it out first to make sure 100%

cheers for the offer but managed to come to a conclusion in the end, i went around all the bearing shops but wasn't able to get one that size as i guess yamaha had it made up special, then eventually managed to find a company that specialises in bushs locally and got one that would fill the eye of the shock (one of the metal cased ones like you get on panhard rods), then went to a trade fixings company and got a bolt and washers to fit it.  all in £3 for the bush and 50p for the fixings, hours of faffing about but it works smoothly with no play
