Tech Note: We hear of common pitfalls during shock absorber replacement here at Mid America Motorworks. One is where a customer has removed the original shock eyelet from the mounting stud but the new shock seems too small to slide on the same stud. Most likely what has happened is the inner metal sleeve from the original shock has seized to the stud and still remains in the way of the new shock. Often times you can loosen the sleeve by using two hammers. Hold one against the sleeve on one side while rapping it with another hammer on the opposite side. This will help break up the rust and loosen the sleeve.
