I'm going to change the rear spring and possibly the shock, has anyone tried this yet because looking at it it would seem that you need to remove the swing arm to get it out.

Hi, Does your bike have a main stand fitted ? I'm wondering if I take mine off I may get more angle to get the shocker up and out. Thanks.
I am in the position of being stuck with my AT hoisted in the air and still unable to get this shock out.
When it says "remove the preload knob" are you literally meaning just the knob at the end that seems held on by a cross-head screw (leaving the shaft in situ)
or does the whole shaft and knob come away from the shock body?
It seems impossible to get out from where it is?
Currently waiting for a mate to arrive and together we can try this lifting and twisting method but i really need to know about this pre-load knob as i just don't see how it can help?
Thanks

I did it using the Service manual and Hyperpro instructions. The Service Manual had pretty detailed instructions. In the Service manual on 17-2, it shows several tools you need. I made the tools pretty cheaply and I had a Tusk fork oil level tool {https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/731/10975/Tusk-Fork-Oil-Level-Tool}. I made one but a {https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/1056/26539/Tusk-Cartridge-Rod-Holding-Tool} is handy to have. I can't post links so these might not show up.If anyone has done the front springs i would really appreciate a simple step by step guide as the Hyperpro manual is anything but clear...
