Rear shock hoof removal ?

[packman]

Ive got a 1994 Africa Twin , how do you remove the rear hoof on the bottom of the shock

[piguglyshandydrinker]

If it's like the 650 Alp, if you lift the rubber damper up, there is a nut (22mm if I recall for the Alp), with the bottom bracket clamped in a vice, unscrew the nut h it will (once at the end of its thread) unscrew the damper rod.

May be different on the AT, but doubt it'll be significantly so.

Undo the shock ring until the spring is loose then there is a rubber bump stop under the big washer the other side if the hoof , prise it down to reveal a 24mm nut , put the hoof in the vice and undo the nut and bingo !

Is it possible to get pictures of the spring removal?

as packman says... easy! did mine today! fully undo the lock-nut then the spring nut. Turn upside down & hit the spring down, it'll fall 4/5/6cm... exposing a nut. Secure in a vice & undo the nut. Simples...
