Message: [QUOTE="bultaco4ever, post: 1382684, member: 111771"] I just received a service manual for my '97 KDX 220 and I am reading about disassembling the rear shock. I want to install a 5.4kg spring in lieu of the stock 5.0kg. It says to use a hook wrench and loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting nut all the way up the threaded shock body. Is that really all there is to it? Just use those spanner wrenches or hook wrenches? No other special tool is required to compress the spring to remove spring guide? Is installation of the new spring just as easy? While I've got it apart, what else should I inspect or perform maintenance on? [/QUOTE]
