ROD END REMOVAL

& REPLACEMENT.

STEP 1

Place piston rod in a hydraulic press using a clean radi-

us or triangle aluminum soft jaw.

STEP 2

Using torch, heat up the rod end where it meets the

piston rod. This will loosen the red Loctite and allow for

the rod end to spin easier.

It is ok for the shock to be fully assembled, with

the exception of springs/seats, when replacing

the rod end.

STEP 3

Using an adjustable open end wrench (or similar) rotate

the eyelet counter clockwise and remove.

STEP 5

Screw new rod end on to piston rod and tighten using

an adjustable open end wrench.

STEP 4

To reinstall new rod end, rst place a dab of 271 red

Loctite in the rod end thread.

For better leverage, use an open end wrench

with a long handle.
