Default Help!! Burnout cycles lowering kit...

Having some trouble replacing my right shock with the lowering kit installed canister bumps the housing? If I take the bushing and the washer off I can get it in no problem.. Any advice would be appreciated...

I used a bar to pry the shock over. Also raise and lower the rear with a jack, this will give you some more room.

I've put that freakin shock in every position imaginable, I let some air out of the tire which gave me a little more room but I'm still hanging up on the crossbar, I can't go over cause the canister is hanging up. If I come from underneath I'm 1/2 an inch out. I'm set up for 2 up riding would it make a difference if i marked the shock and backed it down to a stock position and then pryed the ****er in there?
