Author Message   Misato Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 03:22 pm:        anyone take it apart? do you need a spring compressor? I want to paint the spring. blue has to go.   Misato Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 07:00 pm:        alright, I guess I'll just undo it and see if the spring goes 'TWANGGGGG'   420at145mph Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 07:18 pm:        heh uh u DO have a service manual doncha check it foolio   M1combat Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 07:29 pm:        Do NOT just undo it... Springs kill people. You can get spring compressors from a place like auto zone for about $20. The ones I got are made for the smaller diameter car springs that you would see on a small car but I used them on the front springs of my old Mach-1 w/o dieing (There were a few tense moments though when putting the springs pack in).   Gonen60 Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 07:37 pm:        Misato..what color?, the matching Mean Green?   Sshbsn Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 08:25 pm:        Misato? Misato??   Misato Posted on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 - 08:51 pm:        I still have all my limbs.. yeah I got the manual, show me where it takes the shock apart, I see they show how to take it out. maybe I'm not looking in the right spot. ahh, its sunny out I'm gonna ride yeah, I think green just wondering if someone had done it..   Mikej Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 09:14 am:        I don't think they consider that a user servicable component. You'll probably have to contact the manufacturer of the shock itself for info.   Darthane Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 06:28 pm:        I'm gonna agree with Mike on that. Out of curiousity, what would you have to add to the paint to keep it from flaking off as soon as the spring compressed?   Socoken Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 06:48 pm:        powder coat it!
