82 850GL Resto...here we go

Sweet! How did you get them apart?

Make sure they are 180 degrees on the spring.A bit off bends the spring.

Thanks SV. Appreciate the advice.

Look out....she may know your address LOL!!!



Well fellas, I spent a little while trying to get the shocks back together. Hmmmm... that's going to take some more thinking. The ratchet strap method is not working for reassemble.

I may try to see if one of my buddies has a set of spring compressors.

Wow, looks good. Certainly can't wait to see this thing back together!

and I was just about to say,,,,I like the legs better.....LOL

as I was scrolling down and looking at the pictures, and you go and spoil it for me at the end....hehehehehe

looking really good, I always thought PC would crack, especially on a spring once it got compressed, shows how much I know....

man, I wish there was a cheap PC guy in my neck of the woods......I would have had everything done by them......

I have the best PC guy. Dropped the springs off yesterday afternoon. Got a call from him today and he even delivered them to me since he was in my neck of the woods. Plus they look awesome! $25 Dang it. That's incredible.









Sorry GK. No leg this time.

Probably too late to help but I have had good luck getting the rust off of springs with a Stainless wire brush and Scotchbrite pads then clear coating

Thanks BB. I actually got some of the rust off, but it had damaged the chrome. Spots of dull metal. I think the PC will look good as well. I was able to clean the shock bodies up, but the springs needed professional help.

Glad you did. We got a really good laugh out of it.

I was debating on saying anything, but I figured hey the bolts have already been sent off, so what do I got to lose.....LOL

So I'm sitting here next to my wife on the couch when I read your post. I looked at the picture again and started laughing, then showed her. LOL!!!

Don't tell me, those are not your better half's, legs

or those are not your springs....LOL
