How to take shock apart
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: We need to dismantle the shock absorber for purpose of having the shock absorber covers chromed.
As you can see in the picture you need a vice, i.e. a mechanic third hand, and a strap wrench. Attach the shock to the vice so that the eyelet is at the top.
Put the strap wrench around the top cover, and very carefully turn counter clockwise. The eyelet will stay stationary in the vice. Once it is loose, put the eyelet aside.
Then by hand turn the top cover clockwise, and it will come apart. Now the lower cover will be accessible. Keep the packing around the spring. It's job is to keep the inner spring from being scratching the inside  the cover.

Note:  Photo shows the man, Steve Reed himself!
