is slightly offcenter. i dont think it'll affect much. the other side
i still have yet to put the metal sleve on. but yea, removing the bar
pins was so freaking hard.

Hi Mike,
I see Daimler designed a small passenger type shock mounting:
http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Know...mage/RE-08.jpg If you have
air an impact gun will zip them off with a couple of blasts. They all spin,
that's why the tip of the shaft has two flattened sides on the shank to fit
a special socket to hold it. You may have to use a nut splitter:
