replacing front shocks ↗

Short member write-up for fitting new front inserts. Remove the wheel, unbolt the caliper and hang it out of the way, undo the three wired 17 mm bolts under the housing, then the top nuts, and drop the whole strut. Crack the big insert gland nut early (a pipe wrench between the coils works), then compress the spring on the bench and keep the parts in order.

Tools mentioned: Spring compressor, 17 mm socket, pipe wrench, safety wire, grease
