Rear shock mount?

[Jamze]

Time for a bit of TLC for my rear shock. Had a look last night, the rear shock mount doesn't have enough clearance for a wrench/socket. Does the yoke have to come off too or have I missed something

Grind down an Allen wrench or remove the yoke.
You might get a little more clearance by unbolting the front of the shock and rotating it downward.

Drop off the front shock mount and allen key in bottom undo the top one

Ta. Yes, once the front is undone, it pivots down a bit. Still a bit tight for a torque wrench though when putting it back on. One downside of a shock extender I guess, dead easy on the other bikes.

Deflate the shock and compress it. Gives clearance to get a torque wrench in.
Easy to remove and refit yoke though, although getting the shock back into the yoke is a complete ball ache. There is a crappy little washer that goes under the shock that makes it hard to lineup the bolt.
