Just cleaning round after removing the engine....
Pulled a broken piece of rubber/plastic ring out from the rear shock spring....
Is this some sort of seal......if so...what now.....can it be replaced easily
I was thinking of undoing all the suspension links and regreasing them anyway....
Nothing's ever straight forward eh........

Are you sure the shock is complete, including the o ring that is used to stop the damper from hitting the stop.
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

It's some sort of dust seal on top of a sleeve at the bottom.....I've glued it back together, then siliconed it in place.....OK for now.
Took the rear shock apart and buffed it up a bit and greased the suspension link.
I don't want to get too carried away as I need to fit the engine and find out if it's OK, but I don't want to ignore stuff I can do easily whilst the engine is out.

You could have popped down to Tippets and they may have had a new replacement. It does not look like it would cost too much and it is a prudent thing for suspension parts.
