im working on taking off my suspension F&R, so i can put on my new H&R springs. I was wondering what i need to unbolt from the front to get the front strut assembly out. Ive already got the strut loose, but need to know what i need to take out to remove it completely.

=GAME=

remove the 2 nuts holding the hat on in the bay.
remove the 2 nuts for that brake lines thats attached to the strut.
remove the bolt that connectx the fork to the strut.
remove the bolt at the bottom thats on the lca
everything should be loose now
push the rotor/hub down and wiggle it out.

You need to take the brake lines off of the struts.
remove the bolt/nut that goes through the lca and "fork"
remove the bolt that goes through the "fork" and the shock
Then remove the 2 nunts on the pillow hat.

It should all fall out.
If you are still confused i pmed you a link to dl the helms pdf and that book had all of the answers.

EDIT: beat me too it hehe

k one last question then i leave y'all alone lol. this one has to do with the rear suspension now..

I removed the bolt connecting the lca to the fork. and the two bolts at the top of the shock on the top hat. i tried to remove the shock, but cant get the rear suspension to go down low enough to remove the assembly...so how do i do that? do i have to remove the lca or anything like that?

func-tion

you have pm.
But just incase anyone else wants to know you simply have to remove one of the bolts from the lca. I usall go for the inner one.

=GAME=

remove the lca bolt and push the lca down so you can have more room to move the shock assembly out.
