Please could someone give me some advice on disassembling the shock absorber on my Sketer.
Whilst cleaning the car today after some bashing in a quarry, I noticed that oil has been leaking from the rear shock. On closer inspection there is a small hole in the top mount/cap where the oil is leaking from. I am unsure if this is damaged, or part of its design.
My problem is that I am unsure on how to unscrew the cap, which seems very tight… Before resorting to the mole grip and vice technique, which undoubtedly end badly, is there a technique for doing this?
I suspect a seal has gone.
Thanks in advance.
