Yes all you need is to lift the back of the bike off the ground and take off your seat and you will find a 3/4 inch nut on the end of the shock bolt. Take off and your there.

Mine cracked as well, ordered new ones from HD. The guy looked at me funny because he had never ordered them before. Be mindful that they may take a while to get them in.

I did take a grinder to them to make the hole a little bigger so that the shocks have room to move with out cracking them again.
