Rear suspension R25/3

Post by Erik F. »

How do I get the springs off the rear suspension? Do I have to screw the spring anticlockwise, I tried, no luck ! Please help.

Erik,

Both of the springs screw OFF in a CLOCKWISE direction. In the lower plunger cover there is a hole that you can put a pin wrench in which buts up against the end of the spring so you can turn it off. I didn't have the wrench, so I tried to get at it with a pin punch. Over time the springs really lock up. I poured lots of WD40 around it, and just persisted. I don't know of any other easier solution.
