washers on lower rear shock?
 
I pulled my suspension off to have it re-valved and serviced by Les at LTR. My question is. On the lower part of the rear shock mount which way do the dished washers face. I was thinking it is with the cup side toward the barrings is this correct?

Lineman, you are correct.

For future reference to other users...
Here is a pic that I made previously. It's rough, but gets the point across. I like Eff's idea too but it looks like a butt. Dirty mind I guess. :)

You're worried about that looking like a butt with that avatar? :)

i actually saw that "A Style" sticker for the first time in the train station in Torino, Italy, in 2007. Rather amusing.

So what is the secret to geting them back in easy. I can get one side but not the other.

LMAO! No doubt you are the master of posting technical drawings! I thought it looked like a butt too, but hoped it got the point across.:D

{Speaking in broken chinglish} Young grasshopper... there is much to learn. You must have patience to yield the cupped washers into final resting place. Use three hands to hold the cupped washers, while squeezing them together slightly, and gently slide the clevis into place. :)

When that zen moment fails, I try to hold the cupped washers in position and "wiggle" the clevis onto the washer's edge. If you're lucky, you can compress the washers as you slide the clevis into position. It's still a pain for me too.

It does just take a bit of patience but i did prevail

I got another shock with a clevis that is not broken and tried to put it on with new orings as washers. I cant seem to get them on. shock goes on with either the orings or washers only in place.

djroggen 06-01-2014 09:40 AM

The orings should seat somewhat inside the rear pivot, and the washers should go right over with little compression to make them fit, you may have a set of orings inside the pivot already?
