Default Guide for fitting rear coilovers

Would this pretty much cover it for a MY93 classic?

looks straight forward enough, although i'm nto 100% about how to set the preload etc after they're on!

cheers,
Mark.

Quite a good guide..However just a couple of suggestions to add. First remove top off brake master cylinder and place a bit of plastic bag over top and refit top. this will reduce fluid loss. Second when u have car jacked up remove brake hose from caliper and strut and replace in caliper once clear of strut. Again to reduce fluid loss. You will only need minimal brake bleed this way. The top nut can be a pig to remove a hex socket is better than a bi-hex. I rounded one using a bi-hex and had to chisel it off. I used a deep hex socket with two spanner flats ground on it.
hope this helps ken
