HELP PLEASE - How many peeps needed to lift the rear????
How many people will I need to lift the rear of my bob so that I can get my shock back on?
Followed the manual. "Remove and install one side at a time to eliminate the need to lift the rear..."
Took out the first bolt and the damn thing dropped - tooo far for me to be able to get the bolt back in.
Any suggestions or do I need to invite a bunch of peeps over to lift the rear so I can install the bottom bolt?

Next time try cranking up the pre-load adjuster on the other shock first. I've changed 'em and never had 'em drop too far.

Dude, do yourself a favor and go buy a bike lift and a service manual. Best 2 things you can own besides the bike and a helmet. Regardless of popular opinion, you don't have to spend a fortune on a lift, especially if you won't use it that often or for very long each time. I got one for $59 and have used it twice as much as I thought I would and it works great.
