[QUOTE="HelzBelz, post: 1318358, member: 18255"] Ok guys and gals- I am in the process of installing my newly rebuilt and resprung, new to me, Penske 8975. It took me all of 30 minutes to uninstall my OEM shock, plus about 20 minutes of staring and studying. (then 15 minutes of wiggling the switch before I finally decided to take the switch apart to finish the uninstall) I am at an impasse on install though.[B] The collars on the top, that interlock into the top of the shock do not seem to fit between the mounting brackets on the bike. Am I installing these wrong?[/B] I reinstalled the bottom bolt as well as the dog bone bolt, then used my floor jack to lift the swingarm into place, but I keep knocking half of the top collar off as I try to move it into place between the brackets. What am I doing wrong? (7 days till I leave for Red lodge.. I live close). A little late night help? [/QUOTE]
