Changing rear struts
How easy/difficult is it to change rear struts on Classic's ? Might sound like a daft question - but I've never done it before. I've got a set of spring clamps to change springs. All info greatfully accepted - hoping to do this at the weekend:eek: :D . Even if someone in the know is local their more than welcome to give me a hand ( well me help them and watch over their shoulder:D ).
Cheers Paul. |
Paul,
i've got instructions for new age springs with a couple of pics in a copy of True Grip. dont know how different classics would be. will drop it over if you need it. would give you a hand but at Japfest this weekend, might need them spring clamps for a weekend though:thumb: . Lee |
Probably the most awkward part is removing the rear seats to get to the top-mounts. The parcel shelf is a little awkward as well, but none of it is exactly difficult.
If your brake hose is routed through a tab on the strut it means you'll need to disconnect the hose - unfortunate really. |
You can cut thought the strut brake hose holder and free it that way. Its all relatively easy unless you come accross seized parts, problem was undoing the nut/bolts that held the stut to hub. I had to seek professional help and they had to use scaffold pipe to get the leverage !!
