through the Main Frame (6) and front of the rear 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 rear shock assembly (7) and Front Link Assembly (4)
from the main frame (6). To Remove the Rear Link Assembly (5) from the bike, using the
