33/34 shock tool
 

2 Attachment(s)
I made this tool up today so I could get my spares, and Kpars 33 shocks apart,
note the use of the throwout bearing to make it easy to turn when in the press.
It worked a treat,got 6 of the 8 apart first up.
I have to make another tool up to get the gland nuts out,but that will be easy,as there are only two tangs on it.

More pics please Lawrie of the process and the parts etc. Are you able to source everything you need for spares?

Well today I got all eight shocks apart and stripped,4 of my mates were OK for a rebuild but only one of mine was any good,the rest were full of rust.
I also see I have three different types of damping and adjustment of the same.
