Help installing Ohlins shock??

[gstone]

Couple questions... what is the best way to get the swing arm off the ground? I have a cherry picker but don't see an easy way to sling it?? Does the rear tire need to come off?? How about seat subframe??

Thanks !!

I searched and didn't see anything, if there is another post please direct me to it!

I have aftermarket rear sets on both of my YZF's, so I do the following:

• put bike on rear and front stands
• remove the back wheel
• place jack stands under rear sets
• unbolt shock linkage
• loosen top shock bolt
• lower rear stand ensuring the rear sets are on the jackstands
• remove top bolt
• remove shock

Installation reverse of removal.

Got this accomplished, took out the horizontal top bolt, not an easy one man job!!

Thanks Again!!
