You guys definately lied to me, "ahh it's just two bolts mate"

Managed to get one shock on but had to leave it at that, the main two Problems encountered were the bottom part of the shock was much bigger than the gap for the shock and, jacked up or on the ground made no difference for the clearance for the top mount thread poking through, with the spacers on ect we could not do the nut up for the life of us.. Luckily we have a heady handed mobster that works with is (also a tech) we put lockable grips on it and pried it down and managed to put the nut on. Needless to say it was not a one man job.

Out of interest what are the tricks for easy fitting. I noticed I have like a double sided fork shaped thing that came with the kit, no idea what it is
