Changing rear shocks DIY
I have a 97 UK Turbo Classic and need to change rear shocks.
Can I do this without a spring compressor without decapitating myself either?
Thanks

I'm not sure but i'm guessing no?
You can pick up hand held spring compressors that are cheap and will work i think.
Take the complete unit out and then put the copressors on.
Thanks

ClintUK, where are you based mate? If anywhere near to Bedford, I can do it for you FREE of charge :-) I needed spring compressors when I was changing shocks on mine V2 Sti, so guessing you'll need these as well. You can get them from Hallfords for less than £30 so not really expensive. It takes about 40 minutes per wheel, well easy :-)
