Hi everyone. I have been riding a 2013 and 14 explorer for 8 years now. I have just bought a new OEM kyb shock. I am about to fit it but it won't manouver into place and I don't want to remove anything yet that I don't need to. I am hoping it's a simple case of just removing the rear wheel but suspect it ain't gonna be that simple.
Greetings from Lincolnshire, someone will no doubt be along to answer your question, soon sadly it's not me.
I actually managed to get the shock in place. I rapped the shock, greased up edges that might get scuffed. And there is a 2mm shaped plate sitting about 30mm away behind the shocks final resting place. I used an adjustable spanner and prized the plate upwards. And was able to prise the plate back perfectly. I had visions of having to take off the swing arm with the drive shaft but thankfully the shock went on a treat.
