So Cal Suspension Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 If you can get some vice grips on the very bottom of the shaft, you should be able to unthread the rod end. It's gonna fuck up the shaft, but if you do it at the very base with the spring out of the way, it won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynail Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 if you are trying not to gouge the shaft with vice grips put a peice of inner tube or other soft rubber around it before clamping on....if anyone still know what an inner tube is?

trpkkd Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 That's a good idea I'm sure I got a chunk of rubber lying around somewhere I could use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 On the front the top eyelet unscrews from the shaft. theres a big flat nut on top of the shaft that the eyelet screws down to. thats where you hold the roll. all after you compress the spring of course. the rear has a clip style at the bottom that just slides out when the tension is off. just a lil info.
