also do you guys take allen bolt out first or top nut? or does it not matter

matthewmosse:
Allen bolt first I belive, that is how I do it anyway, if the allen bolt won't come a broom handle with a point cut into it down the fork and hammered in once the spings are out I seem to recall, though it is a decade since I had to resort to that.

MarkShelley:
Loosen the top bolt whilst they are still clamped on the bike. A whole lot easier that when they are off!  ;D

Johnwebley:
when I did my seals,after removing wheel,brake bits etc,just drain the oil,and undo the allen bolt,and slide the fork end off,
you can leave all the rest on the bike,

MikeM:
so whats the knack for getting this allan bolt out, I have a 6mm allen key on a socket but the whole bottom part is spinning

shock is still connected to the bike with top nut still done up tight   ???
