You need to bring the spring all the way up, and get a shock compressor, Just go to a shop.. only takes like 1 minute if the guy is having trouble lol...

[JDiablo]

so you cant do it by yourself then without a spring compressor?

[LathersR]

You can.. but youll prolly pinch your fingers and shyt, take too long w/o compressor.. just buy the tool ( shock king ).. get them at a hardware store

[LathersR]

You dont need a compressor! its easy all you need is a spanner wrench, or something that will grip the preload collar.

All you need to do is unscrew the preload all the way, then slide the little plate that the spring sits on out, then remove the spring. It can be done in less thatn 5 min.
