Ok guys I got the forks all done, now I'm working with the shock. I did pretty much step by step in manual and I'm down to getting the actual assembly with the piston rod out. And I don't know if its normally this hard to get out or if there needs to be a little nitrogen in there or not but I cannot get it out. I have it in a vise and tried wiggling and twisting it but no luck. Any one have any ideas or experience working with showa shocks?
