CB750K7 Rear Shocks
Oddjob:
The rubber on the new shocks actually look ok to me, the stud it fits on goes much bigger after the thread part so it could well fit when the old shock is removed.

Aaaaahhhh, that would make sense. The thread is 10mm and the new shock rubber is around a 15mm opening.
Thank you,
I will have a go at getting them off and the new ones on over the weekend now I feel a bit more confident.

Have you tried removing the lower bolt and then just moving the shock front to back whilst pulling at the same time, usually works.

Yes, I had presumed it would slip off pretty easily but I think it’s going to need some persuasion!
I’ve moved onto the Bonneville brakes for this afternoons tinkering. I’ve always had bikes on and off since my teens but only recently started to get stuck into the work needed on them myself. I’m no stranger to using tools but spannering on a bike is pretty new to me, so I am a little cautious... as you can probably tell!
The more I do, the more I love it.

After WD40 spray you need the pull whilst wiggling left to right and up and down routine best to wear gloves in case it suddenly lets go. 😁😁😁
