I dream of S

I'm putting in my Konis and can't get the lower perch off the stock shocks. Just wondering if i should just hit them until they come off or if there is a better way to do it. Thanks

ok if by perch you mean where the spring restes on the shock then why are you taking them off? I just did my springs replacing stock with Teins and didn't have to remove that? Please clearify and I'll see if I can help

Yes the black part where the spring rests. there is nothing on the konis for the spring to sit.

Yeah...I'm retarded...I was think just spring replacement..uhhh

Anyway, I would guess that they knock off and that you have to tap from the bottom toward the shaft, looks like a taper fit.

Just turn the shock upside down an tap with a rubber/plastic hammer. It will come right off.

hahaha yeah i got it. my friend was doing disassembly and was hitting the part that is welded to the shock, not the collar. We got it all done. thanks anyway
