Ok, tree is down! I like your idea Jay but that sounds really messy.

Now I have more time for stud removal. Anyone have a good option (or know how to) for rebuilding the rear shock? I saw a guy on CL in the Becker area for $20/shock.

$20 is a pretty normal price. That is if all the seals are still good. I would count on closer to $30 for a total. You would need a whole kit to do this yourself. Not realistic for the average joe (or jay or cory).

Good morning Dave!

Thats kinda what I thought. Trying to find someone closer to save on gas/time too. I think there is a guy in Rice that does sled work but not sure about shocks.

I am sure it will be closer, if not more, to $30. It is leaking oil onto the track, so I am sure internals are shot.
