6.1: REMOVING THE REAR SHOCK AND SWINGING ARM

See Figure 2
Tools Required: Large Flat Bladed Screwdriver.
10mm A/F Socket Wrench (2 off) or Ring Spanner (2 off)
Two 4mm A/F Allen Key
To remove the rear shock from the frame, first remove the rear wheel from the swinging
arm. Using the large flat bladed screwdriver, unscrew anticlockwise the 6 Bearing Caps (1).
Take care not to damage the surrounding paint. Next using the 10mm Sockets, undo the
M8 Aerospace nuts (2) on the M8 shaft (10) that pass through the lower link assembly (5)
and swinging arm (3). Whichever Aerospace Nut (3) becomes undone first, remove it, and
pull the M8 Shaft (10) out from the other side. The swinging arm (3) can now be rotated
out of the lower link assembly (5). Next using the two 4mm AF Allen Keys, simultaneously
undo the two M6 x 12 long countersunk screws (11). Remove these, the hollow pin (13)
and the washers (12). You can now lift off the Swinging Arm (3) from the upper (4) and
lower (5) link assemblies—take care not to lose the two washers inserted in the upper link
assembly, reference fig 4. To remove the links from the main frame (6) using the 10mm
Sockets, undo the M8 Aerospace nuts (2) on the M8 shaft (9) that passes through the Main
Frame (6) and top of the shock assembly (7). Again whichever Aerospace Nut (2) becomes
undone first, remove it, and pull the M8 Shaft (9) out from the other side. You can now
remove the shock assembly (7) and Upper Link Assembly (4) from the main frame (6). To
Remove the Lower Link Assembly (5) from the bike, using the 10mm Sockets, undo the M8
Aerospace nuts (2) on the M8 shaft (8) that passes through the Lower Link Assembly (5)
