[QUOTE="laminated, post: 1400165, member: 29383"] to add , if you take want to undo the lower bolt, loosen the top , so you can bottom the tube on the spring .then push down hard on the top so it seats the spring hard against the rod;s spring seat as someone takes an impact to loosen the bolt as the spring keeps the rod from turning. thats a work around my guy used. but you should get a new seal for the bolt as spinning the bolt fast will marr the seal . Also, pulling the tube out will tear up the teflon of the bushes,also if the bike has over 15000 miles on it, you can bet the 3 bushes with have the teflon worn off them so have those available.and a seal for the bolt. my guy used a thin piece of pipe from a portable shelter about 2 in wide. and 10 in long with several 1/4" cuts at the top so you can bent them 90 degrees for a seat for hammering, to tap the middle and top bush back in. , they used a rubber hammer and had a rag between the pipe piece and the tube. you will use over 700 mls of oil also vs the 696 they said.
