[QUOTE="Alyson, post: 177639, member: 4839"] I'm going to chime in now and PLEASE tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I've removed my spring boxes by A) remove the screw holding in the hydraulic damper B) raise machine up in air with a floor jack and a piece of 2" x 6" cut off, or similar C) loosen lower screw on spring bolt and remove by hand. Then the top comes off as easily. So to sum up, I release the tension off the springs by raising my bike in the air. Instead of trying to tension the springs to remove and refit, just release the tension and remove the spring boxes. Why do I have that funny feeling someone is fast approaching from behind to whack me in the head ? [/QUOTE]
