I have a 99 FXST and I want to install an Arlen Ness lowering system. The problem is the bolts on the shocks (swingarm side) are out about a ¼ inch and I can’t move them in or out. I bought it used, 2 months ago from a dealer and it’s not covered under warranty. Is there anyway I can remove them without snapping them off? I have a lift. Thanks Chris D.
Hello Chris,
The only correct way is to remove the entire swing-arm with the shocks intact and work with it on the bench. You can try a little heat and work the bolts back and forth with a crow’s foot style tool, but you may soften or melt the powder coat. Wrench Safe, FMH
<strong> Ticket 19078 I have a 2004 softail that needs bushings in the end at swing arm and sleeve are thay any available
I've just bought a 2006 Nightrain FXSTB, and need help learning how to adjust the rear shocks; so the ride height is the same. I had to pull a shock, and realized that neither of my shocks are set the same, and right now my rear fender sits too low.
Do u have a video or instructions on removing the swing arm on a 1991 FXSTC ?
Hi, do you have a video on replacing these Softail shocks. I want to fit a set of air-shocks I have. thanks, David.
I don't see any videos that show how to remove,reinstall or adjust progressive shocks on a soft tail?
