Intended to change both rear shock absorbers this afternoon on the Connie. All went well until the Allen key in the shock absorber rod broke the threaded end of the spindle getting the nut undone. Guessed there would be a problem. Had to clamp the spindle in the vice before I could get the nut undone. Then because of the rust on the top section of the fittings, I had to resort to brute force to get the top fittings off the spindle. Eventually managed to prevail over adversity and fitted the new rear shocker.Took it for a ride round and certainly seems better. Tomorrow will do th other one weather permitting.
