Rear shocker tops

PostPost by: soggster » Thu Aug 07, 2008 4:58 pm

Hello,

Noddy question. How do you get at the rear shocker tops?

I want to change shockers and springs to something a bit more beefy.

Cheers

Andy.

There should be two holes in the parcel shelf through which you can get at the top fixing nut.

If you don't have two holes, like I didn't, then you have to cut them.

I seem to recall removing the rear window.

Possibly to avoid the danger of a spanner slipping & busting the glass.

Ahh Bill, I have no rear window, so no spanner slippage fears!
