Title: Rear shock preload adjuster
Post by: Bob on Thursday, 18 April 2019, 03:00 PM
I've got a shock with a free spinning preload adjuster, how do you get the knob off :happy1:
Aaaaaand I saw a shock rebuild thread that had fixed spacers on rather than using the standard moveable system, anyone help?

The knob is retained by a roll pin, pressed into a blind hole.
IIRC I knocked mine through the back with a parallel punch of the right diameter.
