My 14 1/4" Works shocks just arrived. How do I mount them? The bolt at the top of the stock shock doesn't budge. Is it held in by some locknut on the other side?

Do I need to remove the rear fender or do some major surgery before I can get the old shocks off?

thanks
Paul

The top bolts were real tight on mine too. In addition they had some form of Loc-tite on them. I had to take mine off with a torque wrench for the extra leverage. Just be sure to take notice of the spacers. The ones on the top right are different than those on the top left. You shouldn't have to remove the rear fender.

Just put a long handle ratchet or breaker bar w/socket on the bolt and have your way with it . . . it'll come loose.

Spend 65 more bucks and buy a manual. Best investment you will ever make.
