    1983 GSX750 Rear Shock Rebuild

    Hey everyone,

    Looking to tear the rear shock down in order to clean it up and paint it, its the rear mono shock with the preload adjuster.

    I'm not even sure the preload works, so would like some tips on tearing this thing down for a clean up.

    Cheers Guys

    Some of them aren't disassembleable. If the bottom of the shock opposite the preload adjuster is welded together, you can't (easily). If the "keeper", the disk of metal that holds the spring "inside" the shock is a separate piece, you need to compress the spring by itself and wiggle the keeper loose, and then the spring will slide off the shock.
