Dear Fast Robert-
I'm a little fuzzy on rear shock replacement. You mention compressing the coil.
If I buy the Bilstein shock complete with coil, don't i just remove 3 nuts on top and one on the bottom and the whole shock unit is out? perhaps jacking up the frame to take the tension off the coil.?
Thanks for the previous tips. I will WD40 my shock nuts today for replacemnt next week.
Steve
