gy 5 removing shock spring - how??

[gyjoe]

If you mean just removing the monoshock assembly, it isn't terribly difficult. Remove the seat, side cover, battery box, and air box. Use nylon straps, rope or chain to suspend the rear of the bike from the ceiling to get the bike's weight off the shock. Loosen the mounting bolts from the top and bottom of the monoshock, and it should come out. If you then want to go further and disassemble the monoshock to remove the spring itself, you need a coil spring compressor to tighten the spring and remove the tension from the monoshock before taking it apart. This topic has been discussed here before, so you might find some helpful info by doing a search if you haven't done so already.
