I beat on it with a punch enough that I formed a nice little round indentation on the nut and thought I was going to mess up the threads on the shock.Beat on it w/ a punch or remove the entire shock and do it on a bench.
At delivery I asked the salesman to help me with the sag (which ended up as him watching me mutilate the ring). He lifted the bike on a center stand but it was never steady and was rocking back and forth.I was going to put on an aluminum skid plate on in hopes the flat bottom would make it more stable on the stand.Is there a better way to jack it up... ?Their is a "bung" in front of the RH side footpeg that you jack it up on.
