Hi All.
I would like to buy an old Koni red rear shock for scientific purposes. It will be cut up and examined. Since I am a cheap SOB, I can't bring myself to pay someone $300 to rebuild an old shock, and I'd rather not pay $200+ for a new one, just for a bad seal.
Koni NA tells me to talk to their certified rebuilders, and the rebuilders tell me they are under contract from Koni not to sell parts.
My findings could benefit the community. I already have the tool to remove the wiper seal, and a proper pin spanner for the shock cap, but it refuses to budge. I need to know if it's pressed in, welded somehow, or just TIGHT before I force it and do damage. (I do have a 3 ft pipe wrench.)
So..... dented, bent, broken, free, etc. What do you have. I promise to post pictures!
