D1 shock replacement

[Amadreas]

Hello all,
Looking for some tips. I’m going to undertake changing all the shock on my stock D1. Anything I need to be aware of that might make this struggle more difficult than it should be.

It is stupid easy Andreas.
You can do it at my house if you like.

Great. But would I enjoy all of the same benefits of doing it myself at home? You know...bashed knuckles, new swear words, wrong tool, one forgotten tool inside but can’t leave all the other tool laying outside unattended, similar to…got everything spread out and ready to go only to then get a sudden urge to go pee, constant burning, stinging sweat in the eyes, strained muscles, desire to immediately grow an extra arm and hand to hold something in place, low light condition.

It is pretty straight forward, just hit all the bolts and nuts with penetrating oil the week before

There was a good step-by-step guide on this on the "Technical Articles" tab of the RL website, but I seem to have trouble opening it, not sure if its just me or the tab has an issue?

Good catch Andy. Actually links for several of those "legacy" articles were broken. All fixed now.
The Disco 1 suspension step-by-step guide is now available from the https://roverlanders.bc.ca/technical-articles/ page.
